Tiger Stripes for sure!

I have friends who say that they don't want to have children because they don't want it to wreck their bodies.

I get what they mean, but I don't understand.  Motherhood is one of the most fundamental reasons we are women.  And for that reason, I don't think of my body as wrecked - or scarred - or as anything that puts down the fact that I have gone through the purely miraculous process of giving birth to a beautiful, amazing human being. 

And for that reason, I am a tiger who has earned her f&*king stripes and I wear them with pride.
