I know you guys are probably seeing it as a bit excessive that I keep posting about that Barbie thing and reblogging the images, but I honestly disagree.
I genuinely hate my body and would give anything to change how I look.
But I think that’s why it meant so much to me to make sure I did this.
I mean, if I can go unedited and do it, when the model couldn’t, I think it makes the message a lot more like…meaningful. The impact is more prominent.
Before, I couldn’t go swimming or even out in public. I rarely even let my ex see me exposed like that. I still have those issues.
But for some reason, this made it okay for the world to see my body.
I think it’s because I know there are people out there that are so much more beautiful than I am, and they feel horrible about themselves and their bodies.
And I want them to see this and realize that theyre beautiful.
And that they don’t need photoshop or to change.
Because someone out there will always think they’re beautiful.
(…which is actually really hypocritical of me given how i see myself, but still.)
