Regardless of how self-assured a woman may appear, she also struggled, is struggling, and will continue to struggle against society’s standards and expectations. Chains of self-image and projection will also restrain her. But, rather than dimming her light, this makes her shine brighter because she is bold and strong in her own way.

In her own time, through her boldness and strength, and with every struggle she conquers and limitations she overcomes, she learns that with self-love, one can take courage to embrace every breakdown, seize every breakthrough… and just be unapologetically herself.
She'll learn to tell her story with every mark, curve, and bump on her skin. And, in her rawness and vulnerability, she’ll love herself and be loved.
She’ll have breakdowns, but she’ll break through.
P.S. Happy birthday to my 32-year-old self! I just got elbowed out of the calendar!
I never really saw myself as sexy until I did this, but I guess we all have a fiery side. Thanks for helping me see a different side of myself, @hellodarling.ph!Â
