A Year of Confidence

Do you ever look at pictures of yourself & remember exactly how you felt that day? ⁣ ⁣ A year from now, I hope I look back on these pictures & remember: ⁣ ⁣ I felt confident. ⁣ I felt happy. ⁣ I felt worthy. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been on a journey to body positivity for about a year now. I’ve read countless books, blogs, articles. I’ve listened to more interviews & podcasts that I can count. And I’ve spent a lot of time with Jesus - hashing out the ins and outs of my calling & my worth. ⁣ ⁣ In this year, I’ve changed tremendously - in every way. Better yet, I’ve grown. I’ve been fighting so hard to be able to look in a mirror - and look inside my heart - and see beauty rather than imperfection. ⁣ ⁣ Ya see, this whole self love thing isn’t (and hasn’t been) just for me. ⁣ It’s easy to think that initially.⁣ But because I’ve spent this year working on how I see, treat & champion myself - I’m a better girlfriend, daughter, friend & sister. ⁣ ⁣ I’m stronger.⁣ I’m braver.⁣ I’m wiser.⁣ I’m kinder.⁣ —> Because I wake up every day with a renewed love for myself & others.⁣ ⁣ We weren’t meant to live in insecurity - this much I know is true. Sometimes the decision to see yourself through the lens of love is the most unselfish selfish decision you can ever make. ⁣ ⁣ It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.⁣ ⁣ So here’s to a year on this journey & to many, many more! 💕🍹
