“Loving yourself is not antithetical to health, it is intrinsic to health. You can’t take good care of a thing you hate.”
— Lindy West

The Fun Stuff

I’d want the ability to shapeshift. The idea that I could exist as a housecat sometimes, fly around like an eagle or relax in the water all day like an alligator really speaks to me.
