Society shames us for not fitting some unreachable standard of beauty and bolsters the internal battle of knowing our worth and feeling unsuitable, disgraceful and undeserving. Somehow every significant moment; weddings, pandemics, working out, all become moments women feel pressured to drastically change their bodies for the sake of aesthetic pleasure. Our already beautiful, capable bodies become something we look at with disgust instead of gratitude. We exist in a society that profits from that. That profits from self doubt, self hate, negative self talk, body shaming. But you are not your body. You are not your age. Your job title. Your relationship status. You are not your weight, your height, your productivity level. You are not the cruel words other people have said to you. In a world that profits from destructive behavior, be a rebel of self love. Your worth doesn’t come from other people’s ability to see your value - it comes from you seeing your own.
