Learn to celebrate your existence without qualifying and excusing all the things you wish you could change.
Look into the mirror without pulling out all the things you hate from inside of you.
Picking them apart.
Measuring them.
Causing them to expand and then constricting them when they do.
You’ve lived for too long in a world of mixed signals and contradictory expectations.
Realise that you are not made of clay and you were never meant to simply fill the cracks and spaces in and between those around you.
Look at the fact that your Self has prevailed despite all the times you’ve tried to change it and realise that this is not failure but proof of your resilience.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.
This is what self care looks like today. (via olivialaurel)
Remember, don’t let anyone tell you that your value is based off your body and its current state. Don’t let anyone make you feel less then because you’re bigger than they think you should be. Don’t let anyone make you feel less than because you’re smaller than they think you should be. Don’t let anyone make you feel less than because you don’t identify as the gender they believe you should be.
You are worth more than your body. You are more than your body. That is a shell of your being and that shell is perfect exactly as it is but you are more than that shell. You are your soul, you are your mind and you are power.
