I know what it's like...

I know what it’s like to not feel like I’m enough, I know what it’s like to not like myself or like what I see, I know the journey I’ve been on, I know where I want to go, So I use myself as an example here for you. Yes I am a photographer, But I am also a woman who is on a journey, just like you. I want you to know, that you can accept the person you are, It just takes daily practice and it’s a continuous journey...there is no end, To tell you, that you can enjoy the person you see in the mirror, And that you can start to like the flaws you hated for so many years. We all want the same, men & women alike, To feel accepted, loved, liked, good enough & content within ourselves. So when we change the way we see ourselves, The way others see us will change as well. But it starts with us. It starts in our own mind. The way I see myself now, is so different and so far from how I used to see myself. My body gets very little negative attention, where it used to consume my daily thoughts. I now focus more on what I want to do in this life, What I want to achieve, And what I want for my family. Believe in yourself, Be kind to yourself, Speak with love to yourself, Acknowledge all that is amazing & beautiful about yourself, Write nice things about yourself, Be thankful for kind words spoken to you. Be aware of how you treat yourself, Be respectful towards yourself, Trust yourself, And you will start to see a difference in how you see yourself. How others see & treat you, And how you see & treat others. I really hope I get to meet you in the near future, That when you are ready, You will stand in front of my lens, And let me take the most beautiful portrait you have ever seen of yourself. Enjoy your journey xx
