That’s what beauty is…

Not some impossible standard decided by people who don’t know your story... Real beauty begins the moment you stop trying to become someone else.

Not perfection. 
Not approval.

What do you find attractive…?

It lives in the choice to be yourself… fully, fearlessly, without apology.

I spent so many years adjusting... blurring the edges... quieting instincts... performing a version of myself that felt acceptable in the circle I kept… or the home I grew up in…

“… being pretty makes you more powerful”

- Mom

And some may have called that version beautiful... but it wasn’t mine…

The real beauty… the kind that lasts…
