sinnsage:So, my fellow #vanlifers , i know his is about a week late, but i still wanted some participation points ————I have a lot to say about the human body and our ability to appreciate it! I can’t say it all here!of course i have struggled with my vessel over the years of my existence. Growing up, my mother was hyper-critical of her own body, dieting constantly. Though she never placed even an iota of that upon me, it was still modeled to me that that was a way to be. I had a fairly unhealthy relationship with a girl in high school as well who was naturally much skinnier than i was but we shared an eating disorder (not only was i in love with her, i also wanted to BE her & tried as hard as i could). It took many years & a lot of positive mental conditioning to let go of those unhealthy views about the size of my body. Regardless of the fact that i display my body and my sexuality to the world for a living, I’m not without insecurities. I’ve been programmed like every other person on the planet. I don’t think there’s a female in existence who hasn’t felt some kind of insecurity about their shape or size. But i have made a decision to love myself and to love my body no matter what it looks like! At 34,i have shared my body with the world since i was 18, no matter how it has looked: when I’ve gained lbs and when I’ve lost them. I have had a major surgery that left me with an large scar that i truly worried would end my career - it didn’t. And being in this industry has taught me that people will ultimately love you for who you are, regardless of any of your perceived “flaws”!I’ve also learned that aesthetics are all so entirely subjective-what one person finds unattractive another will find incredibly beautiful, so there IS no perfect! It makes me feel good to share my body and so i share it. And i *celebrate* when other women want to share their bodies as well! I wish for everyone to see the beauty they carry. And i am very saddened by those who wish to shut that down and silence it because of their own feelings of bitterness and/or jealousy that they refuse to face. Celebrate & love!#justmynakedopinion #femaleempowerment #vanlifegirls #liveyourdreamlife (at Grand Teton National Park) -- source link
