Dear Women of Wisdom and Experience,
I need to address something significant that’s been weighing heavily on my seams… I sense a bit of tension between us.
You first catch sight of me while browsing through a discount store, perhaps feeling a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty. When you finally hold me in your hands, your gaze is critical, as if assessing my worth in a world that often defines value by size. You might even roll your eyes, reminiscent of a dramatic scene from a classic film.
You toss me into your cart alongside a beautiful cashmere scarf (a wise choice, by the way) and race to the fitting room, as if I were a prized possession. Inside, you confront a mirror clouded with fingerprints, examining the reflection that tells a story of years lived fully. Your sigh echoes in the small space, a reminder of the challenges that come with the passage of time.
As you attempt to slip into me, there’s a struggle; the fabric clings uncomfortably, and the fit feels restrictive. I can sense the frustration in your body language, the pulling and tugging that makes it clear: I may not be your friend today.
But let’s be honest: you’re more than just a number on a tag. Your body has danced, loved, and triumphed over obstacles. Each mark and curve tells a story of resilience and strength. You’ve grown into a person who knows what they want, who can assert their needs, and who embraces their true self.
So, I must make a confession: you’d be better off without me. Your health, your happiness, and your comfort should not be dictated by what’s trendy or constricting. Remember, your body deserves to be honored and celebrated, to take up space in ways that feel natural and liberating.
Instead of struggling to fit into me, consider embracing clothing that reflects your lifestyle and values. Perhaps opt for those comfortable yoga pants that allow for movement and expression. You deserve to wear what makes you feel empowered and confident.
And if you’re on a journey toward starting or expanding your family, resources like this one on intrauterine insemination can provide valuable guidance.

Additionally, Make a Mom offers expert advice tailored to couples on their fertility journeys.
In summary, I encourage you to prioritize comfort and self-acceptance over societal pressures. You are beautiful as you are, and your choices should reflect that.
XOXO,
Your Denim
