Red marks on my shoulders catch my eye. The leotard I wore beneath my dress left them behind, a faint reminder of what I just lost. I brush my fingers over the lines, tracing them until they stop at my collarbones. They look fuller than I remember.

Or maybe I’m finally seeing myself clearly for the first time.

I straighten, lifting my chin.

I can fix this. I just need to be disciplined, focused. Eat cleaner, no distractions. That’s what it takes.

It feels like clarity, like I’m finally forming a plan.

It feels like control.
