THIS IS ME. No makeup. No filters/presets. No editing. Yes, I have some acne scarring. I have a little skin fold on my back because… I have skin lol. But damn it, don’t even TRY to tell me I’m not beautiful. Social media is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. We curate our lives into a bunch of pretty squares, and honestly… I have a love/hate relationship with that! (**I love pretty things and appreciate the effort and talent it takes to make beautiful pictures and fun captions!!) I just have to remind myself that all these little squares are tiny pieces of what’s ACTUALLY happening, and what that moment was ACTUALLY like! I get swept up in trying to be perfect and well-edited like everyone else. But it is sooo important to know that none of that stuff is necessary to find value in ourselves. Today, I got up early to work a double shift at the doggy day care, worked out on my lunch break, and I checked in with my fitness community and team in little power pockets throughout the day 🙌 No beaches and bikinis today… just busy building my own dream life right here!!! 👯🏋️♀️🐶🐶🐶 Find beauty in what makes you strong, what makes you different, and how you make this world a better place.
