ambrohsial: confidence is a muscle, and if you don’t flex it enough, it gets weaker. sometimes i let my circumstances impact the way i see the girl staring back at me in the mirror. and she doesn’t deserve that, because she’s been through a lot. i’m not a genetic unicorn. i have health conditions stacked on top of one another that leave me fatigued, anxious, and riddled with chronic pain. for some reason i look in the mirror and instead of thanking my body for taking care of me the best that it can, and for getting me through the hard days, i chastise it for being too big. too curvy. too this or too that. the other day i literally looked at myself and said “you’d be so pretty if you weren’t so fat”. and then i stopped. because i realized that i would never let somebody else speak to me that way, and i would never speak that way to someone i loved. i’ve somehow accidentally convinced myself that i am undeserving of love because i’m not a size 2. but that’s bullshit. you do not magically get a permission slip from the universe to start loving yourself once you’re a certain size. i was beautiful and deserving of love yesterday, just like i am today, and like i will be tomorrow. This woman though.. -- source link
