So let me put this out there, I have a bad skin discoloration and eczema on my arms, back of my legs, and some on my neck. And it's been a pain! I've literally cried about it because I've always dreamed of having perfect skin or atleast better looking skin. If itch every single day. I am in pure discomfort 😭. Thankfully, it's no longer swimsuit season 😅. But I'm sincerely learning to embrace my skin now. It's a part of me and since I love me, I'm learning to love that part of me. If you're struggling with this, you are certainly not alone. Fuck society bs standards how skin supposed to look in order to be "worthy" this is how my skin look and I'm no longer ashamed. I don't care what others think now. Im living for me because I only get one live and there's no repeat. I hope that you're learning to love yourself completely as well. "Now you, go live yourself" - me 💕🥺

TRANSPARENCY POST!! Often I sacrifice my comfortability and health even to please society. Having a battle with ED, this photo sorta makes me cringe thinking about not sucking my stomach rolls in but I'm learning to be authentic to myself and the world then I wouldn't feel like that in the first place. This journey of self love is hard as hell, a lot of tears, sacrifice, and rawness. I wouldn't want it any other way tho. At a point in my life, I just got tired of making myself throw up and having to deal with the feelings of guilt and major regret afterwards. So cheers to loving myself and striving to fit my OWN mold? Society, eff your bs standards. I will love my extra stomach rolls from now on. I won't let you influence the way I love myself and even if I do slip up, I'm gonna remember that my sanity and mental health is more important than trying to fit the mold. Please, love yourself guys and girls - it's hard to do but atleast it's easier than self hate. Self hate takes so much out of you....

Here's a sharable, printable "Ten Dollar Bill" pdf, perfect for placing into Salvation Army kettles. Text on the reverse reads:

"I cannot give my support to an organization that actively persecutes LGBTQ people around the world - including Jennifer Gale, a transgender woman who froze to death in Austin because the Salvation Army shelter would not house her with the other women."

You can find the PDF here.

Daily Reminder:

Changing old patterns is hard. It starts with recognising what they are and why they're detrimental, and then you can work to slowly change them. Even if that's just means making an extra few minutes for yourself throughout the day when before you made none.

Hong Kong has gotten to a point where:

police officers jeer at and insult the citizens who are on the streets mourning for the death of a 22-year-old student, calling them cockroaches 

the death of said 22-year-old student being called an ‘accident’ when the kid literally fell off the third floor of a carpark…for no apparent reason, with riot police surrounding the area; no investigation into his death at all

the pro-Beijing legislative members won’t even stand silently for 5 minutes during the start of the meeting to mourn for the death of a HK citizen 

a 15-year-old kid being charged and found guilty for being in possession of dangerous weapons, said weapons being an umbrella, a hiking pole, and a laser pen

Over the past 5 months, our energy and motivation during these protests has turned from encouragement, to resistance, to vengeance. 

We will not back down.

Today we mourn, honor, and remember the transgender people who were murdered because of their gender identity or expression.

i often use filters but they don't truly make me happy because it's covering up what I'm insecure about. sometimes I hate my nose in pictures because it's wide and my eyebrows when they're not arched and my skin when it breaks out but I swear to god I'm learning to love myself no matter what and it's hard as hell but it's well worth the journey. society wants us to be perfect but I'm not and I won't apologize for that. when I see models with the perfect skin and facial features, I'm often taken aback by it but I then realize most, sometimes is not natural and that those women may not be happy (definitely not judging other women's decisions tho) and I get this sense of relief but also sadness knowing that women feel the need to change for society's standards. "Now you, go love yourself." - me 💕💕
