The change-rooms.
I went swimming yesterday.
It felt really good to get some exercise that wasn't scrambling over trails or something like that. I'm not one for gyms these days. P.G is too pretty for that.
I wish I was brave enough to change in the main changing area, like a lot of the women are. Everyone there is so pretty and no, they don't look perfect. I don't think I look so much different that most of the women who change there. Some of them, for sure, in either direction, but that's to be expected.
My nursing friend who went swimming with us says "A breast is a breast is a breast"; this is a very nurse-like attitude for her to have. She says it's silly that I think the act of changing in public is beautiful, and says it is sillier still that I won't do it.
She doesn't understand the nuances. I think it's silly to squash beauty in the small places you find it, even if it's a changing room (because, really, how many years have I spent hating those).
