Let's talk about something most people won't admit out loud.
Hating your body.
Not just disliking it on a bad hair day,
But feeling like your body is the reason you're not lovable,
Not successful,
Not worthy,
Not enough.
Maybe your relationship with your body has felt like a war zone.
A constant tug-of-war between shrinking yourself and pretending not to care.
A cycle of control,
Shame,
Punishment,
And silence.
You scroll past the self-love posts and think,
That's not for me.
You've tried loving your body,
But it felt fake,
So you settled for tolerating it.
Maybe even disconnecting completely.
But let's tell the truth.
You were never taught how to love your body.
You were taught to criticize it.
From magazines to mirrors,
To family comments that stuck like glue.
You learned that your value lives in how small,
Smooth,
Or disciplined you are.
You learned to ignore your hunger,
To trade softness for structure,
To apologize for taking up space.
So if you're tired of the mirror being a battleground,
If you're tired of chasing a version of yourself that always feels just out of reach,
You're not alone,
And there's nothing wrong with you.
There is something wrong with a world that taught you to treat your body like an object instead of a home.
There is something wrong with a culture that profits off your self-rejection.
There is something wrong with measuring your worth in inches and pounds instead of joy,
Freedom,
And aliveness.
Because underneath the hate is a deep longing to feel safe,
Soft,
And at home in your own skin.
And you,
My love,
Are allowed to come home,
But not just to accept your body,
To honor it,
To fall in love with its strengths,
Its softness,
Its sacredness.
To see it is not a project to fix,
But as a masterpiece that's still unfolding.
You are not here to be palatable,
You are here to take up space,
To nourish your body with kindness,
To dress it with joy,
To move it in ways that feel like freedom,
Not punishment.
This is your body,
Its story,
It's your art,
It's your power.
So let today be the day you stop waiting for the mirror to approve you and start living like you already belong.
Because you do in every inch,
Every curve,
Every breath.
You are already enough and your body was never the problem.
It was always the portal back to yourself.
Let the truth carry you forward.
Not just today,
But every damn day you forget how sacred you are.
You deserve to feel free here and you can.
Sending you love.
You
