キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 12月30日 02時19分

Do you recognize me? I shaved my head after I'd been doing Ashtanga Yoga for about a year. It wasn't a big emotional decision and I didn't give it too much thought. I walked into a barber shop in NYC and casually told the guy to shave it all off. He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and told me it would be $10. That was that. My hair was gone. I kept it shaved for a few months. This photo was taken when I started to let it grow back. I found it when someone asked for an old yoga pic. I hardly recognize myself. I can see the twisted, broken pieces of my heart and all the shattered glass of my own irresolution. I was edgy, absolute, certain, even if the only thing I was really certain about was my own pain. I can see the discomfort I used to feel in my body, the way I wore my skin like an article of clothes I hated but had to wear. I can see my lack of consciousness masquerading as attitude. But I also see the sparks of strength, the spirit of hope, and the beginnings of the blossoming of the flower that has become my life. This photo was taken in Canada where I followed a boy that I loved. You may wonder why I didn't ask him to move to Miami instead of me moving to Canada for him. Well, the truth is that I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think anyone would want to uproot their life to see about living on the beach with me. But you know what, I'm worth it. I was worth it then and I'm worth it now. When I look at this photo I see a girl who didn't know she was beautiful, who was afraid that if she shared herself with the world the world would turn its back on her and reject her. I see me. And I love me. It's taken me my whole life so far to get to where I am. I'm so thankful for each step of the journey and for each thing I learned along the way. If I could say one thing to the younger version of me I'd say this (and maybe these words whisper to your soul today too): you're beautiful, you're worth it, you're stronger than you know, reach for the stars and never make yourself small because your greatness makes someone else uncomfortable, be yourself and dare to shine like one of the brightest stars in the sky. ?
