how you love yourself is
how you teach others
to love you

Debated posting some of these pictures for a while. Not because I don’t like them, but because I was afraid they were “too much.”
I was reminded last week of my haunting eating disorder during National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. I was reminded of an 18 year old girl who hated herself and her curves and would do almost irreversible damage to her body for even the slightest difference on the scale.
We live in a world where we beg women to love themselves and take care of their bodies and then we shame them when they’re confident.
The truth is, you will be too much for some people. Those aren’t YOUR people.
My prayer for all of you lovely ladies this week is that you will love yourself fiercely. I pray that you won’t dim your light to make others comfortable. I pray that you will be so much and so whole that it will scare them.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay 🌸
