This one goes down like sweet milk with honey because in last night's dreams I was looking inside my body and found a mangled mess of burst and rotting fruit, complete with maggots and rats.
Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest -  thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.

"You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated."

I have no doubt that these words are true, both for all of us and for the world we live in. It's good to know these words are coming from a young person.

Thank you for this. I am growing back.
