Their God is angry and unkind because they made him in their image. - Roxane Gay

What I know and what I feel are two very different things.

The ways we are taught to be a girl start when you are very young. When you are being taught, you don't know about the points. When you are being taught to be a girl, the lessons are simply accepted-the price you pay for your curves, your holes. It's only later, when you are older, after you've been taught, that you find out about the score sheet.

I wish I did not see my body as something for which I should apologize or provide explanation.
