Indigestible Ideas

My power comes from the digestive system, which is shown through the small and large intestines. I have a self portrait to show how I wish to look. The small intestine is what absorbs nutrients necessary to stay healthy. I began to fast in the 9th grade because I wanted to change my body's appearance. Fasting ended up making me get anemia due to me not intaking iron which is why there are red blood cells surrounding my body. This made me weak and changed me as a person. The large intestine carries waste out of the body. I began to absorb positive and healthy ideas, and pushed out the toxic ones out of me. These connections changed me as a person. Without the knowledge of such important connections, I would probably be following the same path which I did 2 years ago which could’ve possibly had worst outcomes than just anemia.
