Please don’t feel ashamed of your body. It’s so normal to have stretch marks and scars.
Our skin protects us. It houses all the delicate and intricate workings that are on the inside of ourselves. Our skin is so necessary, so brave and so beautiful.
Your body is so amazing that it actually grows with you. We just need to extend a little grace to ourselves sometimes and to remember that our bodies have the ability to adjust to whatever we are going through. It’s a superpower. And the imperfections (even unique ones) are pretty dang awesome.
You are alive today and that means you have another day to honor and feel proud of who you are, so please don’t waste time beating yourself down. Spend that time lifting yourself up, instead.
When we stop seeing ourselves as defective, it changes our whole outlook. Give yourself permission to feel good and be proud of who you are, inside and out.
If you’re ever in doubt, I’m here to remind you how beautiful you are.
Peace. Love. Grace.
