at your core

It’s the thing I feel most passionate about. It’s the only time I feel fully in my body. I can recognize the feeling of my toes clenched. The hair tie in my hair. I can feel my eyelashes on my skin. I feel most in control.

I like the pain in the corners of my mouth. The taste of latex. I feel all of me. Existing in this intimate moment. Bodies on bodies. Sweating, breathing heavy. Nails scratching. Exploring different and new positions. Sore for weeks after.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the wildest side of me.
