When is world naked gardening day and why isn't it being televised? And coincidently why hasn't Seejay. Who wrote a great article by the way thrown his television and radio and everything else that is talking about having a perfect body out of the nearest and highest window?.

I like entertainment. Commercial messaging is toxic but with more streaming there’s less of that.

I appreciate and admire your candor. I suspect that most of us have, at some point, caught ourselves spouting recycled slogans that we didn't fully believe. Maybe it's aspirational (faking it till we make it, as you put it). Maybe we're striving to justify something about ourselves. Then come fleeting moments or extended periods when it all feels perfectly true. Your recognition of the great things your body has achieved is an inspiring affirmation. Thank you.

Thank you Seejay for articulating what I believe many of us feel from time to time, or perhaps more often than we like to admit. The beautiful consequence of seeing the diversity of the human form through the lens of naturism is that it allows us to see a person for who they are, not just how they appear. It’s through conversations, experiences, and reflection that we come to know someone. I feel that I don’t often give the time and grace to get to know my own self, and I suspect the same goes for others. We often bury those negative thoughts deep down to avoid confronting them, and they can percolate up when we least expect it. I suspect you writing this post was cathartic and a reminder to us all that body acceptance, especially of our own, is a journey (one might say “an adventure”) and not a destination. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable yet beautiful part of your journey 🙏🏻
