#TBT Wow how time flies .... this was 15 years ago , I was a mom of 2 at the time , I was still doing ballet and hip hop ... I was getting booked ... boy was I ever unhappy ! I was physically at my healthiest I’d ever been , I had so many wonderful things going on in my life however my relationship was horrible and it was making my mental state deteriorate . Everyone around me assumed my life was amazing, even had those lost comments more like jabs .. “ look at you Svetlana don’t you have it all “? The house , the car , the kids , the man , the blah blah blah ... funny how no one saw the dark circles , the red eyes from crying . Me trying to make it through my day . Even at this shoot it was difficult. Thank goodness the photographer was going for a more serious look lol my point in all of this is never judge someone from what you see on the outside. You don’t know what that person had to do to get to where they are, you don’t know what they are going through . Take a moment and take a closer look at them not at the unimportant material or vain things but at them in their eyes . I’m telling you , you’ll almost see the hard road they had to face . . . .📷 @jamesstlaurent . . . #tbt #bodypositive #bopowarrior #bopomodel #fitmodeling #bodypositivity #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthwarrior #influencer #mtlinfluencer #canadianinfluencer #mtlblogger #mtlbloggersquad #storyteller #canadianstoryteller #tbthursday #motivation #selflove #therealsvetlana #effyourbeautystandards #motivateothers (at Boulevard Saint-Laurent) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvj3-YsA7HZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tix5n9ptkby6
