“

You are beautiful and your imperfections have built me.

“

The strength to love your mess, even when you feel unworthy.

“

I hope you fill yourself with light, become light, create light. I hope you love yourself with such passion and fierceness, the people around you have no choice but to match.

“

It’s fighting to see yourself as worthy, even when you’re constantly told that you’re not good enough. It’s fighting to appreciate who you’ve become, while still making goals to reach towards.

“

Self-love isn’t about open-armed embracing every second of the process, but learning to smile at the chaos.

“

It’s not your problem. It’s our problem.

“

The way your body looks in a swimsuit does not determine your value, worth, HEALTH, purpose or status.

“

I will love my body, even when the world shakes her head, even when there are a million and one reasons I shouldn’t, even when I’ve grown tired. Because my body is my home—my dwelling place, my residence, my constant in a world that is far too impermanent. And so, I will live here. I will love here. I will grow here. I will break and rebuild here.
