    There was once a guy in high school (who I had a crush on, obviously) who saw my stomach stretch marks one random day of hanging out and you know what he said? “I like them. They look cool, they feel cool. They’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.” I’ll never forget that day.

    My stretch marks tell the story of the 3 beautiful babies I brought into this world! I would not change them, they do not take away anything from me, they only add to my beauty

    My stretch marks tell me that first off that I am a Mother and this body carried and birthed 2 children, and secondly that I am an average woman and have what almost every other woman has. My stretch marks represent wonderful and amazing things, and even if I don’t like the looks of them they have meaning and they are nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed of.

    Thank you for this post and making me think of these things. I usually just try to ignore them and not give them much thought. It makes me happy now to think of why they are there.

    This is a really interesting post. When I was younger, I didn’t really understand stretch marks and my dad explained them to me. I remember one particular one on my belly and showing it to him and asking if I could make it go away. He smiled and talked me through it.
    I lost my dad to Cancer a few years ago. There are lots of sad memories from around that time. Lately, I have experienced MUCH joy remembering small things, things I might have forgotten for a moment because I couldn’t see past some of that sadness. Your post just gave me a wonderful recollection. So thank you. x
