The art of letting go the clothes that no longer fit your body, that's what I put into practice 2 nights ago.
The heat seems to arrive earlier every year, so it is that time of the year where I am putting away coats, jackets, tons of sweaters and pants. I also went through my summer clothes and realized that most of them no longer fit me so I put all the big clothes in a pile and decided to give it away but before that, I made this type of ritual, I tried them all again. I couldn't believe the new me, the ability of a body to transform, finally I could see the results in the mirror, 24 kilograms off from this journey.
It was 2 a.m., and I was singing and dancing "She´s gone, Dance on" in front of the mirror, trying on new clothes that fit the new me. My gratitude was immense. I never believed I could feel this good again.
But now these questions echoed in my mind: Who am I now? Who was I before? What in me am I masking?
Very quickly, I answered myself with a smile, Venus is finding her way to transpire through my skin.
