one of my new fav photos of me

this photo isnt exactly flattering — but its me. its not a typical instagram pic or a risqué lingerie snap. its me in my complete relaxed and natural state.

I have some rolls because well, I love food. I have surgery scars from the cholecystectomy i had when i was 15. I have sunburn from not reapplying nearly as much as i shouldve for a whole 7 days at the beach. I have freckles that could go onto the nearest galaxy.

This is my new favorite photo of myself. I feel so pressured to be perfect all the time because every time i scroll, thats all i see. Flat stomach, clear skin, “prettier,” and “better.”

I hit the gym, im one of the smartest in my class, and i have a amazing boyfriend & friends and family that all love and accept me. Im trying to accept myself more and this un-flawless photo has really helped me. How ironic huh?

Were all human. We all have stories and scars. No one is perfect no matter how hard they try. Dont compare yourself. Love yourself along with them, Its not a competition.
