First time Quote by Heather Anne Talpa

““My arms are in celebration-mode because it is the first time they have seen the sunlight in years. I hid them shamefully under cardigans and long-sleeve shirts for most of my life, believing that I was doing everyone else a favour by covering up my unlovable body. But for the past month, my favourite cardigan has found a new home. It resides on my couch, or on my laundry hamper, or on my dresser, and maybe back on my arms at night when it gets cool. I no longer use it as a crutch – it’s not protecting me from myself anymore. I am learning to love myself and I know now that love is the only protection I will ever need.””
