I think self hate is fed to us since birth that we must always hide away our "flaws" must always look like a 10 must always look thinner curvier have perfect flawed skin my whole life my worth was counted on by how beautiful I looked and to now break that and to find myself beautiful but without that being the whole of my worth feels so incredibly hard to beat the voices in my head that belittle me the greatest compliments were I love your soul I love your energy your so beautiful and kind and loving and compassionate why can't we as a society judge others yes by their beauty because we are all beautiful but also by how kind our souls are.
