Your words leave an impact.

I’m so sorry baby girl. The world you’re being raised in is cruel. To love yourself is to be an outsider; to try to embrace your flaws is a death sentence. You will be ridiculed for every flaw, every difference. You will be hurt by a world full of people who do not know peace. I’m so sorry. You will never hear me talk about myself like these people talk about me, because I never want you to feel guilty, and because I never want you to talk about yourself like that. I will always love you, despite any “flaws” you may have. You deserve all the love. Don’t you ever worry about not achieving someone else’s standards. You are worthy exactly how you are, and you do not have to earn love.

Let your kindness be greater than theirs.

Love always,

Mommy

In a world often marred by criticism, it is crucial to foster self-acceptance and body positivity. This letter serves as a reminder that everyone deserves love without the burden of meeting societal standards. It’s essential to encourage not only ourselves but also the next generation to embrace their unique qualities. By prioritizing kindness, we can create a nurturing environment where differences are celebrated rather than ridiculed. Moreover, discussions surrounding mental health and body image have gained traction, highlighting the need for open dialogues about self-worth. As we navigate through various challenges, it is vital to practice self-love and cultivate a supportive space for those feeling inadequate. Engaging in community platforms such as #mentalhealth and #bodypositivity can aid in sharing experiences and encouraging vulnerability—progressing toward a world where love and acceptance overshadow negativity. Ultimately, instilling these values in children will empower them to thrive in their uniqueness, facilitating resilience and compassion in their interactions.

I think asking for a trigger warning from someone for celebrating the skin they’re in is ridiculous! Motherhood changes bodies, yes; and those who choose to treat it as a means of holding onto their former pre-motherhood selves, cool. But I think it takes a rockstar to love the marks their successes left on them ❤️ ❤️

This does trigger my trypophobia it’s beautiful
