So, here’s the thing: I’ve been feeling bad about my body lately which makes me mad because I spent so many integral years of my adolescence obsessing over my appearance and stressing myself out about it when I could have been focusing that energy on bigger, better things. I’ve started working out again and eating a little better, and I notice I look and feel healthier. Putting negative thoughts about myself to rest is totally difficult, but I think I’m getting a little better. Anyway, I sent my partner a ~sexy video~ and it feels really good to hear these kinds of things from him. As a feminist and an “independent thinker,” I don’t need to hear these kinds of affirmations from men to feel good about myself physically or otherwise. But I wish I could pretend like It doesn’t feel nice to be loved and noticed and desired. It makes me feel good and, yeah, it boosts my self-esteem a little. If I’m wrong for that, then so be it. I’m a little happier these days, and that’s a big deal for little ol’ me. -- source link
