// my friends and i had a conversation today about insecurities and it got me thinking. we focus on having the best features and best body because we feel like that will make us happy. having the smallest waist and the a thigh gap have been engrained in our minds as the only definition of beauty. growing up, my mother would always tell me to watch what i eat otherwise i would become ugly and no one will want to be with me. she only said these things to me because that’s what she was taught and she didn’t know any better. but that took a toll on my self image. i always fluctuated with my body weight and though people see me as a petite and thin girl, sometimes i get insecure. • it’s not easy letting go of something you hold so near to your heart. I’ve taken these negative thoughts into my hands. i workout and eat a balanced diet and i don’t limit myself like i used to. day by day i’m learning to love myself just a little more and you should too. find things that make you feel confident. learn to love yourself. what are some things you do that empowers you? • • • • • #fall #blogger #confidence #desiblogger #desiblog #indian #indianblogger #indianculture #browngirl #happiness #balancedlife #hat #fashionblog #fashionblogger #columbusblogger #columbusblog #fashion #lifestyle #lifestyleblog #lifestyleblogger #columbus #midwestblogger #ootd #suedeskirt #insecurities #inspiration #614 #browngirl #loveyourself #otkboots (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpknr4pAKzY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qlbo8wj87qfr
