bedtime routine
- walk into the bathroom barefoot
- turn away from the mirror
- pull your shirt over your shoulders & let your pants slide off your hips, unclasp your bra
- don’t look a. don’t look
- put on your pajama shirt, then your shorts, tie the waist tight
a. make sure all your clothes are one size too big, let them become a room your body is lost in - open your eyes, adjust to the light slowly
- breathe
a. inhale, exhale, then inhale once again - turn around
- look in the mirror, but don’t cry again
a. it’s just a body, and we aren’t all born lovely - after it feels like too much, go to sleep
- dream
- and in the morning, forget
b. don’t look
