crowcrow:

posting images like this are hard for me. hard because really, there’s no bells and whistles to it, there’s no sexy to it and i’m just letting it all out in the open. (and i’m totally making a derp face)

BUT, this is the body i’ve got and it’s better to love it than spend my time thinking negative things. there are “flaws”, definitely and i’m not everyone’s ideal, but if by posting this i can feel good and try to help anyone else feel better about their body, then i’ve done what i set out to do.

this summer, my goal is to treat my body well and engage in more active/healthy activities just to feel physically better. if i lose weight along the way, that’s fine, but the point really is to feel better, not “look” better.

also, this is not an invitation to sexualize me/my body and send me weird messages, so don’t bother. this post is for me.
