In reply to Natasha. I completely agree! I think that as you grow older you figure out what is important in life and what isn't. You learn to appreciate all the amazing things our bodies do for us. We learn that we are amazing. Like you said, as i've gotten older, I have learned to speak up for myself (something I have been told not to do. I was always told to stay quiet), and I have continued to learn who I really am. Thank you so much for reading and commenting Natasha xx

In reply to Emma McCaw. I'm so glad to hear that you agree with me, and you have had much more ups than downs. That is so so great to hear, and I am beyond happy for you. A lot of people look at therapy as a moment of weakness. As rock bottom, when in reality, I think everyone could use going to therapy. It's such a healthy way to deal with problems in our lives. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to and to listen, I definitely recommend therapy! Sometimes you have to go through a few of them before you find someone that just clicks the right way. Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I am so proud of you babe ! x

In reply to Zoë. Yes! My anxiety and depression play a huge part in the problems I have with myself. It also makes me hate my mind, but like you said, it's made me stronger and helped me become who I am today. I'm proud of you too Zoe ! xx

In reply to Natasha. Oops I meant to leave a quote “I love you, but I love me more.” Samantha Jones No one else will care for you like you can, simply because you know yourself and your needs/desires

Beautiful post. I think as I grow older (34 now) I’ve learned to love myself more and more. University were probably my defining years, taught me how to speak up for myself. Im super grateful for this super imperfect body.

Wow, this really resonates with me, I've definitely struggled with self hatred before, and I continue to do still. But you're right, it's up and down, and I definitely find myself more up than down. I love how you've mentioned therapy, I've never had any myself, but I think that people like you talking about it definitely helps destigmatize it. Thanks for talking about this subject, I'm proud of how far you've come!

I love this so much. Physically Ive never really had a problem with myself, I think my issues are more within my mind and who I am. Well I say who I am, but really I mean anxiety and depression. It makes me hate my mind, even though I am so so proud of who I have become. Its been an uphill battle, but I am certainly doing so much better now than ever before! Im proud of you Melina! xx
