I could have cropped my hips out. I could have made my arms smaller. I could have made myself appear thinner than I really am. But what's the point? Why should I listen to the self-hatred ingrained so thoroughly within me? Why should I be insecure about putting this up here for anyone to see? Why should I be insecure about things that are unchanging, beliefs, realities?
I'm allowed to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm allowed to be confident and sure of myself.
When it is communicated to me that I am worthless, ugly, a burden...I am allowed to stand up and say no. I'm not.
I held it together for this photo, but after I took it (the one and only) I cried until my throat burned and I couldn't see straight. Until my head was pounding with the same rhythm as my heartbeat. I cried until I felt like I would puke. And then I hid in the shadows and told myself to stop.
And so I did.
An unaimed shot of Munchkin relaxing on Dad, walking back from the playground. Good focus, bad aim. :)
This is for the 'ambassador' challenge in 12 Months for Dogs. The challenge is to use the lyrics of John Lennon's Imagine for inspiration and also to use manual focus. I took this at the end of a long walk when I wasn't in the best frame of mind and also didn't dare let Taivas off the lead because there were three ponies right behind her. Ponies and Taivas are not a good mix!
So not my best shot but I wanted to participate.
Song title: Imagine ~ John Lennon
