not too long ago, a video like this of my full body on the internet would have sent me into a code red, ignore my phone for days and cry in bed meltdown. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

over the last 7 months of being unable to do what I love, play music, I have cycled through many unhealthy + old behavioral patterns as a way of escaping how uncomfortable it feels to be living through such uncertain times. one of the things I’ve really dipped deep back into is one of my deepest struggles: body dysmorphia. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

i’ve never really openly talked about my issues with my body because in doing so it invites in the opinion of others on a matter that 100% belongs to me - but over the last few months I’ve done some intense work and feel like I’m at a point where I’m learning to love and nourish my body exactly as it is today. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

being in the public eye since I was 22 years old and having access to so many photos/videos of myself (that also often have comments from strangers about my body attached to them) from many different “phases” has always been hard for me because I can so easily circle back to a time where I looked different than i do now and beat myself up over it- but something important I’ve learned on this new *journey of radical self acceptance* is that it doesn’t matter what I looked like then compared to now - what matters is how I feel within myself. My body might look different today than it did 10 years ago (or even a year ago) but the important thing is that today, in this body, I am learning to love and respect myself and where I’m at. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

I’m not posting this for compliments or your opinion on my body, I’m posting this because I’m really proud of how far I’ve come on this specific issue and how hard i’ve worked to get here. Before you beat yourself up over your favorite pants no longer fitting or the cellulite you never noticed before, remember the year we’re all living through and be kind to yourself and thank your body for being healthy and strong, whatever that looks like for you. ⁣⁣⁣

I’ll probably regret posting this but whatever, fuck it! big love to anyone struggling with this issue 💜
