Seeing my naked body

Yesterday, I went swimming for the first time in months, with Hiromu-san, at his regular Cospa pool in Sakai.

After swimming, coming out of the shower, I caught the reflection of my naked body in a semi-steamed-up low onsen mirror, from the shoulder blades down, and I was pleased with what I saw.

The gentle curves and plump flesh stirred up a warm affection that I had never felt.

It was the first time I remember appreciating how my body looked.

I turned around, examining my body from every angle, with the intention to search for a reason to criticize, to no avail.

I would like to believe it was progress.
