Why do we 'hate' our bodies??
Who dictates what a 'perfect' body is?
And why?
Beauty is in all shapes and sizes...
We can be 'big' and have a beautiful figure!
And those scars??
Those scars tell a story - a story of survival - a story of strength - a story of courage and of love!
And what's more beautiful than that?
I have been coming across this a lot lately.
Too much!
Lovelies that would love to do a boudoir shoot - it's something that they've wanted to do for a while now - BUT
They are ashamed of their body.
They need to go to the gym for just a few more weeks.
They don't like their scars.
They are not 20 something anymore.
I am all for wanting to better yourself - wanting to be a better you
But how about we embrace that journey too - and be happy along the way?!
Without that journey - there's nothing to measure how far you've come.
So that journey itself is something to be proud of.
I feel sad that there is so much self-consciousness / self-hate ...
Boudoir is for ALL shapes and sizes!
