Health is a flourishing condition and soundness of life. Health is beautiful, because a healthy state is being as one should be...because God creates health, not disease. Disease and death are of the enemy, unhealthy and unnatural.
Yet I made the mistake of perceiving death and darkness as beautiful, a certain melancholic aesthetic that motivated the longing to be fragile; indeed, I fell for a lie.
Being too thin reflects illness, the shadow of death; after losing my "little brother," I wanted to wear the shadow of death like a garment in his honor. Yet that makes no sense at all! He is alive, more than ever before; I even sensed his vibrant soul visit me once.
God's creations have charming idiosyncrasies because His thoughts aren't like the thoughts of men. Men's creations tend to be cookie cutter, lifeless and soulless, all the same. God formed every person with care...and none of us look alike. Since I am a creation of God, reflecting the image of the shadow of death is not who I really am.
