#Feelinmyself

Hello lovelies, 


Sometimes I feel like an absolute fake.

Like I'm lying to myself, and to all 12,400 of you 
whose eyes have foolishly danced across my blog. 
I preach about body positivism and loving yourself,
and not giving a fuck about what others say.


I work for a company full of beautiful, 
full sized women who look to me for advice and I swear I tell nothing
but the truth when I cover them in compliments. 
I see girls who transform from hating themselves one minute,
to seeing a bit of light in a hurricane. 


But I don't ever take compliments.
I constantly rip apart myself. 
Because somehow, even after preaching body love and all that jazz, 
I have days where I hate myself. 

I think we all do though. 



Today, isn't one of them.

Today, I'm seeing the sun.
And so is a part of my body that never has. A piece of me no one was ever suppose to see,
because I'm not a size 2. 
I decided last week that I would slowly start wearing the clothing that 
I was terrified of in an act of rebellion against my own self doubt.
Last weekend, I wore a romper/pantsuit that has been hanging in my closet for three years. 


This weekend, a crop top. 



You see, it's not about what others think about you. 

Because I wore this outfit out in public with a leather jacket over it 
for a good while, and no one said a damn word, 
and the only ones who did were ones who were complimenting me.
 I was fucking terrified. 


I have never felt so free in my life.


Try it. 

I swear, if you've ever doubted how damn good you look in something, 
put it on and get out there pretty one. You'll see. I promise. 
I'll hold your hand the entire way.
