Mid day love note 11/19

I didnt get to post my late night love note last night... SOOO an early morning love rant comin at ya!

I. HAVE. A. BODY.

holy fuck I know right???? but let's dive into some "normalizing shit." because damn it I am tired of this massive, retouched world that boudoir pushes on their clients lol

I hear ALL the time:

I can't do a session until I lose weight.

I HATE my stomach. I hate my stretch mark and scars.

You wouldnt understand, look how skinny you are.

I am intimidated because you are a "skinny" girl and wouldnt get it.

My boobs are just meh.

I am squishy.

Can you photoshop me to be skinnier?

Okay so to all of that, I say in the most disrespectful way- your words can totally fucking get bent lol and I tell myself this too so don't think I am just being a meanie :p

I love you guys but.... this is YOUR fucking body- let's start treating it like you actually don't get another one, because news flash babe, this is it. THIS is your ONE body, a literal fucking once in a lifetime treasure.

Oh and hey let's get raw with it. This is my body.

Yeah I know howto pose it. Yeah, I know how to photograph myself well, and I know how to photograph YOU well too. BUT here is the twist, I know how to talk to myself and say "Hey you're being an asshole to yourself right now and though I see you and I hear you, YOU KNOW that shit doesn't fly here or get you anywhere" Then flip the mindset.

5 years ago I would have felt like GARBAGE showing any of you my stomach. I wouldn't have been able to even stomach looking at this. Honestly, that is incredibly sad to say, disappointing that I didn't know how to love that body. I look at these images, and other images of myself and go "Damn I am such a fucking WOMAN"

Celebrate you for who you are, don't waste time hating something you need to love and care for.
