Perhaps it's in penance for things that happened in the past. From what I'm starting to remember, our souls are recycled. Overcome this by falling love with yourself at all costs. Love what you have, from every- wart, stretch mark, mole, birthmark, and fat rolls. Accepting your body is crucial to your relationships and the energy that you give off. Love yourself or your won't be able to share the most powerful magic on the planet- your love.
