SILENT GUILT, QUIET ACCEPTANCE: The Story of a Stillbirth Survivor by Clarisse Pastor-Medina

By Jacklyn Janeksela This is the index finger. it does many things like help me open cans and write. it does many things like judge and hate. it can smooth on lip gloss to make me pretty, then point to a bulging belly. it can twirl a piece of hair, then laught at what i wear. this is the index finger i point at myself. how to make the index more compassionate. how to make it hush its mouth. how to make it more positive.

By Jacklyn Janeksela This is not the devil-it is your mind that creates negativity from an inanimate object and whispers bullshit. this is a long piece of plastic or cloth with printed numbers used for measurement. that’s all it is. it is not an instrument to compare you with a younger, slimmer you; to compare you with certain shit standards of beauty. you are beautiful, your body is beautiful-don’t let this object decide your beauty.
