I've objectified and been a creep to my own body (keep reading...) THROWBACK to Oct. 13, 2023 - I wrote this song to speak to the "ick" that comes up when I feel (real or perceived) objectified and have had objectifying comments about my body. Moments where people (mostly men) have shared comments on how I should look ("don't get too bulky", "you're white as a ghost"), or non-returned stares specifically at my body, staring at or grabbing parts of me without consent, etc. I've struggled with the narrative that my/women's bodies are to be objectified my whole life. What's worse? I used to think it was a "why is the world this way?" problem, and more recently, I've been uncovering the layers of how the worst wounding that's happened has been the ways I've internalized or accepted this narrative and objectified myself. Part of my healing has been learning to say "Stop, don't creep" to myself and to stand in my truth of not letting it sway me when others try to make me into an object. To care less about if I look or match what is socially or sexually desirable to culture, being a woman, or any other narrative of how my body "should" be that really has nothing to do with how it is and that my body is what it is. That my body is mine and it's okay and it's really not anyone else's business and it not being desirable or fitting the mold has nothing to do with my worth or lovability, that there is love beyond the skin. Even as I type those words, there are parts of me I hate to admit that want to protest that and still have fears of letting my body be and how I must "manage" or "control" it. Body, I'm sorry I did that to you. I'm working on not creeping on or objectifying you day by day. #bodyimage #selflove #thebodyisnotanapology #authenticity
