Your Body Is Speaking

A nail grows outward. That is its nature. It pushes from the nail bed out into the world, forms a hard layer over the soft tip of the toe, protects what lies beneath. It is a boundary — precise, persistent, directed outward. A nail that has grown inward has lost this fundamental direction. It no longer grows outward. It grows inward. Into its own flesh. Into its own skin. Into what it was actually meant to protect.
