A Simple Journal Question That Made Me Reflect Deeply

I started writing on a journal at the beginning of this year and later found a digital journal I could just write on during the day and answer questions directed at talking about myself. Yesterday, I got a question that felt harder to give an answer to than I expected. When I saw the question, I thought it'd be so easy to start writing.

I don't know if it's just me but I think there are questions that come off as too easy to answer until it's actually time to give the answer. This question from my digital journal got me reflecting harder than I want to admit and guess what! I didn't give a genuine answer because I kept editing and changing what my answer should be.

Write about one thing you love in your body?

It's a simple question, right? I mean, it's my body and I'm supposed to love it more than anyone else could. But the first thought came, what part could I choose to write on from all the parts of my body? Even though I'm supposed to love my body, I can't lie that there are not parts I wish was better than they do. But I've learned to accept all.

Another random thought that came was, what words should I use to write about my favourite part of my body? I thought I'd run out of words to use because I've never really tried to explain why I love each part of my body but I just stay grateful to have them for the functions they do carry out. But after little. thought, I did write about one part.

My Hair was what I wrote on my journal, it's one of the few external parts of my body that I spend time and resources on for it to look good. Recently, I've been having some level confidence about myself because I have a hair that's cared for, looking good and healthy. With all that, I got to write well enough about a body's part, my hair.

But after that was done, I kept having the question cross my mind until now, it's why I'm here writing about it again. If I should carefully write about a part of my body, which part of my body would I have so much to write on that there will be no more words to use? and honestly, I still haven't been able to come up with one part yet.

But that thought had me appreciating every part of my body than I had done in the past. My parts of body are what makes me the lady that I am... growing, loving and appreciating more. Others may not see or feel it but I know my body and I keep learning ways to understand and love my body just the way it is because only I can do that.
