a rare photos where i prefer leaving the areolas unedited... 😶‍🌫️ (vulnerable rantings here)

yes that's right, i usually feel the need to edit them out, sometimes completely, sometimes just blending some patches of skin, to make the image feel more ...right and clean and just more perfected! i still prefer it that way, but particularly for this one photo it just felt right leaving it raw > <

beside the technical aspects, i also have been dealing with insecurities about my areolas too 🥹 i always thought they look "bad", they are supposed to be a different shape or size or color etc. and esp NO DOTS, simply bc that's all i see depicted in arts, photos, videos etc. i thought there is an "ideal" that i don't meet and feel the need to "perfect" them in post-edit for a good final photo! but i had some contents here lately that i let the areola be seen and slipped a bit more, and actually see many of you guys saying you like how they look just like that, and that was so reaffirming to hear! i don't think it will be everyone's preference, but honestly i have never thought it can be ANYONE's preference AT ALL, so that's already a biggggg surprise for me, a happy one! im really thankful!!

though it still doesn't mean i'm gonna show them more or anything (bc i still prefer them non-distracting in my photos for e.g - and i'm not always comfortable with showing them, it's just a personal boundaries i don't want to push), i just wanna thank you for helping me feel more at peace and somewhat more confident with my own body and features! it will help me to explore more as a creator and hopefully i will get to show u guys more sides of me and "insecure" ideas, fetishes, body parts, etc. in the future too! love you lots 😘
