please open this if you aren't feeling great about your body right now /safe

1. tw // body weight

you are absolutely stunning regardless of what size you are. please don't listen to the people who think beauty is only attainable for thinner people. beauty has no correlation with size. every inch of you is marvelous, every curve, every scar, etc.

2. tw // talk about body image

the media goes through phases where certain traits are more idolized than others. this does not mean that you aren't pretty if you don't possess said traits. for instance, sharp jawlines and soft jawlines are both stunning. you are stunning!

3. tw // mention of scars

your scars are a part of you. there is nothing disgusting about them. they are a map of what you have endured in life and show your strength and perseverance. you are not marred or tainted for having scars or "imperfections"

4. tw // mention of acne & blemishes

so you have acne? so what? try to think of acne like strawberry kisses - because people love you no matter what your skin looks like. there is nothing wrong with having blemishes, okay? we all get them. and i think you look great!

5. for those insecure about their smiles:

i think one of the most beautiful sights to see is when someone smiles, genuinely. every smile is so pretty- regardless if your teeth are straight or not. happiness looks amazing on you, i promise.

there are a billion more things i could say to remind you how amazing you are, okay? and by creating this thread i in no way intended to invalidate your insecurities. i just want to give you all a reminder that you truly are stunning in case you hadn't heard it in a while.

also, please feel free to add on to the thread! i feel like we could all use a bit of body positivity right now. the fact is, human beings are imperfect- our bodies aren't meant to be just one way. there is so much beauty in that imperfection
