It's amazing the number of people who hate their body !
I hated myself for 18 years, and i have so much sadness for me when i look back ! I don't really know what changed but i can guess : i surrounded myself with GOOD people, went on the GOOD sites (SG, tumblr...), stopped (even if i never really watched or read) all mainstream media, and started really listenning to myself.
There is only ONE person you spend your life with, and it's YOU. If you don't like yourself there is a problem, have the ambition to be HAPPY <3 it starts with being happy with your body, your story, your opinions. Being happy starts with being happy with yourself !
Self respect is doing choices that make you happy.
I took the choice to avoid any opinion on myself. Therefore this year i started a full body tattoo piece, i took a lot of pictures of myself naked and i loved it, i said everything i think, i quit college and told them it made me an unhappy person and that i had to let that go, i stopped spending my money in clothes and beauty products and started buying stuff for my passions and hobbies instead (travels, presents for my family, photography, drawings...). And now, for the first time in YEARS, i feel truly happy and i can say i am proud of myself. It's a really big thing for me. I won't let anyone stand in my way.
Seing other people happy make me happy. "There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path." I hope all of you are happy !
PS : I even have a "I love myself" tattoo <3
