I love you for this post.

I feel so often we as women allow the media to dictate what’s beautiful about ourselves only to crumble eternally when we don’t match that.

Me personally, I love my skin complexion. Growing up, I used to hate being darker toned, because my mother was lighter, so I thought I never matched that. Being half Ethiopian, I used to be sad that i didn’t look that way because I had a dark complexion. Over the years, i started to love my coloring because it’s one of the things that makes me, me.

I also love my lips, though some people joke and say I have DSL (dick-sucking-lips which I don’t) but yea.

I love this post, I will definitely show this to all the girls I know.

This made my day.
Mainly because not even 5 minutes before reading this I was criticizing myself and everything about me, in a very negative way.
And then your post lifted my spirits a bit.

@Kat: I’m so glad. It’s better for us and our children to strive towards creating healthy and self-loving environments for not only them but ourselves. ♥

I’ll be here for you on your journey if you’d like

this post truly moved me to tears. and the quote Eric Roberts posted is so true. it made me think about how i put myself down in front of my daughter. how can i expect her to love and accept herself if i cant accept myself? it breaks my heart to think about how she had to hear that kind of talk from me.

i have vowed to love myself and teach my daughter self love and respect.
