“The day my ribcage became monkey-bars for a girl hanging on my every word They said, ‘You are not allowed to love her.’ Tried to take me by the throat to teach me I was not a boy I had to un-learn their prison-speak, refuse to make wishes on the star on the sherif’s chest I started wishing on the stars in the sky instead I said to the sun, tell me about the Big Bang The sun said, 'It hurts to become.’ I carry that hurt on the tip of my tongue, and whisper 'Bless your heart’ every chance I get.” -Andrea Gibson

I visited Europe and consumed only alcohol and carbs but this lighting says otherwise.

I was really tempted to photoshop my love handles out of these photos, but then I thought (aside from being dishonest) where would it end? Should I then fade my scars, round my nipples out, thicken my facial hair, cover every blemish and freckle? So I took several moments to admire things about myself — how proud I am of how broad my shoulders have gotten, how much I like my tattoos and how they seem to be a part of me, how mcdreamy-Esqe my hair is, how much kinder my eyes are these days, how much lighter my heart is. Im also proud of how much more confident I have gotten taking pictures of myself and sharing them, even with vulnerable captions. • I’m too critical, we all are, it’s okay to have goals and keep wanting better and more but it’s also okay to tell yourself to chill out and that you’re doing great and you love yourself and you’re so glad you’re still here. • If you want to have your own self-love filled sexy underwear photoshoot try out @underwearexpert you can use my code STARSABLAZE for 55% off your first box!
