me age 25

been a Cali resident since 2007… these photos were taken at Muir Beach #waybackwednesday

 

For many years, I used to be self-conscious of my features, including my nose, but learned to love myself and get my priorities straight over cosmetic procedures (meaning I'd rather be running outside than spend hours volunteering my body on some operating table). Having said that, I'm a realist and know to not say "never say never", but I couldn't imagine changing my Polish nose today, despite criticism from women in my family.

 

As my biggest critics like to coin me "crazy", I've been asked often "Do you hear voices in your head?" No, I don't. But if I were pressed, I'd jokingly say the only voices I "hear" sometimes are memories I think about from all the people that criticized me and unfairly judged me over the years. Sad, but true. Par for the course, I suppose. But ultimately, I don't internalize criticism (it's never about me) and listen to myself. ❤️
