I love it when you get up-close & personalšā¦what catches you..
I love it when you get up-close & personalšā¦what catches your eye first about my physique? Where would you place your hands or mouth first?
WARNING// Long & vulnerable share here//
My relationship with my body has been a journey, as most folks typically experience, but one thing I will say is that Iāve always made it a point to cultivate a deep love for it even when there are things I would desire to change.
Iāve always had an athletic build and naturally felt comfortable in my body. Shoutout to my parents for my genetics and instilling in me a deep commitment to physical activity, eating well, & self care.
Through years of professional nude modeling and sharing my bare self online, growing to appreciate my physical vessel has, perhaps surprisingly, been a huge catalyst. I find I compare myself less to others, and instead, Iāve learned to celebrate what makes me unique.
Standing in front of a camera, exposed in the most literal sense, has stripped away not just clothing but layers of self-doubt. Iāve come to see my body not as something that I need to fix, but something to honor - a living, breathing piece of art that tells my story.
There have been days when insecurities whisper louder than confidence, but I remind myself that beauty isnāt about perfection; itās about presence. Itās the way I move, the way I feel, the way I exist without apology.
Self-love isnāt about waiting until you āarriveā at some ideal version of yourself, but about embracing where you are right now. And in doing so, I hope to inspire others to see themselves with the same loving, gentle, compassionate eyesš
