I'm here judging the drabble section of my pre-writes contest!
I have honestly never sat down and thought about how incredible the human body is, so this really made me think, which I loved. The idea of the human body being this incredible work of art made through hard graft and love is something that I usually debunk (I tend to complain if anyone says something that can't be explained by science) but this was written so beautifully that I can't even question that. The entire drabble just paints this beautiful picture that I can't and won't debunk with stuff like that.
The way that you describe everything and bring across this idea that everyone is unique and wonderful and worth it is a pick-me-up that leaves the reader feeling great about themselves afterwards and I think that's what I liked about this the most. Your piece was uplifting and really nice to read, it's got a real positive ring to it. Lovely!
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, knowing which quote you picked, but I wasn’t disappointed. I actually enjoyed that you didn’t make it romantic in a typical sense of the word. You romanticized the body, painted it in a very artistic light that I never thought to look at the human body in. You made me think with this drabble. You made me reconsider how I look at the human body and I realized that wow, yeah, it is a piece of art. I also love how you ended it with the fact that perhaps the greatest part of all is that no two bodies are alike. That was beautiful and rung so very true.
Overall, this drabble, in general, was beautiful and well-written. Very thought-provoking, so fantastic job!
