PART III – White
Chapter 27 – Britta Kallevang
A poem by Britta Kallevang
I’ve never met a woman who could appear to be so grounded and confident, yet struggle with the very things that sent me over the edge. Because Britta was a runner, she was all too familiar with compulsive training and both food and body-image issues. Sometimes going through similar experiences can bond people together. I found a friend in Britta, and we both know that even when long expanses of time pass where we are not able to be in touch, we will always be there for one another. Britta has expressed some thoughts on her struggles in a completely different way: through poetry.
