Our writers and audience have been stoking the fire of self-love and self-acceptance this past week, so it was no surprise that we were led to a bold statement made by Icelandic beauty queen, Arna Ýr Jónsdóttir.
I don’t have a waistline. My boobs sag. My butt isn’t as big as others. I’m not sexy. I don’t look like those girls in playboy or any of those other magazines.
How many times have you told yourself that you hate your body? How often have you flung insults at your thighs, your hips, your breasts, or your butt…perhaps without even stopping to consider why?
I choose to stay from here on out. I will let life break me open to dig up all the barriers I’ve set for myself. I choose to look to myself for all of the love and acceptance I need.
