That Olivia Penpraze quote and what you said in the tags literally broke my heart. I tried imagining myself as a child.... and I would never tell her the things I tell myself now. (But it's weird to think about because we're the same person!?)
Right?! My cousin told me that like 8 years ago and I will never forget it.
Our baby pictures, photos of us as toddlers and little kids... we would never be cruel to those children, yet we hate ourselves. But those kids in the photos are US, and we should be taking care of ourselves. For our current body, and for that child.
It really is a striking thing to think about. I honestly usually hate myself so much but to see pictures of myself as a little girl... she doesn’t deserve this hatred.
