Loving myself

Something I’ve always struggled with is myself esteem. My parents have never helped and neither has my toxic friendship. But lately I said fuck it, and decide to start loving myself. And no it’s not easy. There’s some days that no matter what I do I wanna hide away in shame. But just telling myself I look okay, has helped build a feeling of acceptance and joy. I’m not skinny at all, I’m not curvy in a “attractive” way, but that’s okay. Because I love my body, in my own difficult way.
