Circadian by Chelsey Clammer
4.0
To read Circadian and any of Chelsey Clammer's writing is to dance with vulnerability and boldness together. It's a blast of joy one moment and deep breath of intensity the next, and her utterly uniqe way with words makes me want to shout out in my own voice, now that she has shown the way.
"I un-social-standard-of beauty my body. Dreadlocks. Hairy legs. Armpits, too. And my skin that is no longer thin. I'm learning how to rewrite my letter of acceptance. To encourage before criticizing. And end each thought with a you're doing great and a just keep going. There's always more to write. Always. More to read. Always. Now consider the new shapes of text. The new ways we can read our bodies. Edit. Revolt." YES, a thousand times YES.
