wingsandtaco:Just wanted to confess something about doing my first Cosplay. I have always had confidence issues and I have ALWAYS hated my body. I still do most of the time. One of the biggest things I hate about my body is my arms. When I decided to do Rose, I was sceptical and scared to wear a dress without sleeves. The whole way to the convention in the car I felt sick just thinking about being in public with my biggest insecurity on display. I figured that I would end up feeling ashamed that I even attempted cosplaying at all. But what happened instead is something I never imagined. For the first time in my life, I felt beautiful in my own skin. I had people that I never imagined would even talk to me, ask to take a picture and comment on how pretty or cute I was. I have never had such kind comments from complete strangers in my life. That was life changing for me. :) And maybe, just maybe I can start to see myself that way out of costume. -- source link
