"This body has carried me through so much.

It has carried me through sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse.

It has carried me through depression and anxiety. It has carried me through rapid weight loss due to those two things.

Has carried me through two physically hard pregnancies, and hopefully one day a third one if I’m blessed

THIS body has carried me through two lumps in my breasts.

Has carried me through every single heart break I’ve every had.

Has carried me even when I hated myself and my body.

This is the only body I’ll have, and it’s high time I really start to love and embrace it.

@hopewhitney gave me something back during our shoot together. She reminded me how strong I really am, how confident I am. She allowed me to be empowered and safe

and reminded me, that THIS body is the one that has always been there for me.

This will forever be my reminder to be kind to myself, and to love myself - because I get to spend the rest of my life with me and this one body ."
