the shirt’s not the problem. it’s the part of me that thinks I can hide in it.

Update: 2025-08-04

Description

What started as reflection on a comfortable shirt has revealed something deeper: this struggle isn't really about weight at all. It's about the parts of us that seek comfort and hide when we've told ourselves we're not allowed to just live.

Whether your version of my red shirt is a hoodie, a hiding spot, or a familiar routine, know this: you're allowed to grow and change while still living your best life. You deserve to be seen before you're "ready."
