sexpektations: Hey you! I was thinking about your reflection theme and it got me thinking about my perceptions of my own body, and I started to really delve into some deep personal thoughts about acceptance and self-love. I think just being able to submit a picture of my own body and be proud of that is a huge step for me. I spent so much time being ashamed of myself and criticising my body but not only that, I punished my body too. My beautiful body gets me through every day, it breathes for me, it enables me to dance, write, laugh and so many other wonderful things. Why would I want to hurt something that has taken care of me all this time, that has fought all my battles with me, that has renewed and repaired itself for me, has kept my heart beating even when I wanted it to stop. My body has loved me and I shall love my body too.That is my reflection for today, to be able to look at myself and not only be accepting but absolutely thrilled to be in the skin I’m in.I hope this isn’t too deep or personal or whatever. This is my first submission to you but I hope you like it. Much love, Naughty Lyla Hey you! I love the photo, the the light hits your body, the arch in your back. It’s amazing. I’m glad you submitted, and the more personal it is, the better. I love learning more about my followers. But you’re right: we only have one body, and we need it to get from point A to point B and to do whatever it is we enjoy. I’ve never thought about our bodies taking care of us, but you’re right. It’s always fighting and fixing itself so that we can go on, so we need to reward that — and ourselves. -- source link
