As a 39 year old female, I wouldn’t say I was overweight, but I wasn’t exactly thrilled with my body either. After an accident left me bedridden, I decided to focus on getting back into shape during my recovery.
For the first time in my life, I truly admired my body and felt confident enough to wear outfits that showed it off, even walking around in my underwear at home.
One day, while staying at an Airbnb, I thought I was alone, so I casually walked around in my underwear. On the last day, I didn’t realize someone had arrived the night before. As I was packing up, I went to the kitchen to make coffee, still in my underwear, when a couple walked in. It was a little awkward for all of us.
Since my coffee was brewing, I waited, not wanting to make things more uncomfortable, while the couple grabbed something they needed. We stood there for a few minutes, exchanged some small talk, and I stood my ground until my coffee was ready. During the conversation, I could sense they both were trying hard not to look, but ever so often their eyes would wander.
While I don’t think I’d ever fully expose myself, there’s something intriguing about leaving a bit to the imagination.
