It's Mine, Not Yours

Digital Photograph

"This is my body. My beautiful body. It’s not yours to touch. It’s not yours to make inappropriate jokes about, It’s not yours after our 1st date (or our 100th). It’s not yours when I am wearing clothing that shows some skin. It’s not yours when I am passed out. It’s not yours when I am in the store shopping. It’s not yours when I am at the bar. It’s.not.yours. IT’S MINE. It’s mine, and I will wear nothing if I want to because I am beautiful and not your sexual object. I will be proud of my womanly figure that I have kept hidden out of fear of attracting shitheads like you. I will cover it in tattoos if i want to. Cut off all my hair if I want to. Pierce everything if I want. Why? Because this body is mine, and NOT YOURS."
