👉 !!!!! READ THIS BEFOR YOU COMMENT !!!!! 👈

I wrote this for my 15-year-old self and for any girl whose mirror talks too loud. Feeds lie - angles and edits aren’t life. Your body is not a trend. Keep your curves, your breath, your laugh. Text a friend, eat with someone, step into the sun. If you need help, asking is brave and 100% valid. You are worth the space you stand on. I’m singing with you ... every step. Thanks for listening and sharing this with someone who needs it. 💜 Tarja

Lyrics:

fifteen after choir, scrolling in my room.

saved a folder called goals, chased a tiny bloom.

the mirror got louder, lunch felt like a test.

i wanted to be perfect and forgot to rest.

i pulled a hoodie tight and hid my face.

mom knocked once and left me space.

this is my body, not a trend.

i want my breath back, count me in.

i keep my curves, my pace, my time;

i am not a filter, i am alive.

say it with me: this is my body.

feeds were a movie with angles and edits.

girls looked like paper; i tried to get it.

a friend said, hey, you’re not a file.

come sit, eat with me, stay awhile.

we talked to someone, named the fear.

tears on the table, but we were here.

this is my body, not a trend.

i choose my yes, i learn to bend.

i eat with friends, i walk in sun;

i am worth the space i stand upon.

this is my body. we have won.

i tossed the goal folder, kept a song.

bought a dress that fits me now, not wrong.

looked in the mirror and let it be-

hey, that’s me. i like what i see.

this is my body, not a trend.

i keep my breath from end to end.

i keep my curves, my laugh, my line.

this is my body - this life is mine.

i am enough. i’m doing fine.
