The Real Me

I live life on my own terms because I am responsible for creating the life I desire. I set my own boundaries and standards because I believe in protecting my energy. I’m finally taking back my voice and I am taking back control over my life. I am reclaiming my confidence and my power, I am simply reclaiming what was once mine.

Pursuing my own ambitions have been an important step on this journey, and it comes natural for me to seek the truth. I fight for freedom and justice and I question everything. That leads me to new ways of thinking and I open my mind to new opportunities and adventures. I deleted my accounts on mainstream social and started to engage with energies that aligned with my own beliefs. Pouring out my own values and how I wish to live my life had me stumble over communities I never knew existed. The people around me fuel my desire to free myself of the social norms and just be me. Wonderful me.

People are always going to say whatever they want about you. When you pour your soul into something you open yourself up to people who will meet you with disbelief and mistrust. Critisism. Please remember to let that fuel you. Do not let it stop you. You have the right to prove them wrong. Again and again.

Reposting this photo because the previous OP put a caption on it that was so close and yet so far. Something about "every woman has her own unique charm" or something like that. Superficially it ascribes these people's bodies positive value, but locates the source of that value in some outside observer being "charmed".
