Rivka,

You are a complex and dynamic human being with a beautiful body. One that tells the story of your life through scars and freckles and stretch marks. It's proof that you're living and does everything possible to keep you alive and healthy.

You and your body deserve to feel pleasure. There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you enjoying your sexuality. I encourage you *safely* explore yourself and what that can mean for you with curiosity, an open mind, and self-compassion.

We're our own worst critics. I hope you find a way to allow yourself the same compassion you'd show another woman who doesn't see her beauty.
