“i don't care about being pretty anymore cuz physical ugliness doesn’t exist. we just assign negative meanings to certain traits and that's what's truly ugly, it’s how cruelly we treat ourselves and the traumas we inflict ourselves chasing illusions and impossible standards. i'm not saying i still won’t indulge in using sheet masks, but the bottom line is: i just want to be a good person.”

“Bodies aren’t meant to stay the same. We are supposed to grow and change. We shouldn’t be making people in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, etc feel like they need to strive for the bodies they had in their teens and 20’s. Or making people feel like they ‘need to get their bodies back’ after they have had children.”

“Life is too short to fill it with hatred towards yourself. Your body is your own vehicle; one in which you will only get for so long. Instead of focusing on the flaws of this vehicle, use it with out shame. There is only so much time in which we will have it for, so fill it with feelings of gratitude and unconditional love towards your body. There is just not enough time on this earth for self degradation.”

“it’s such a strange thing that we care about what we look like. like have you ever just considered that cavemen didn’t have mirrors or cameras or anything to see themselves up close with and they didn’t even care about what they looked like? we literally come from the universe, all of us, and we have most of the same basic parts/appearance but otherwise we look different. our skin and eye colours change based on where we live to protect us from harm and ours cells join together different to give us our other differences in appearance. we’re just built the way we are to survive as every other animal is. when did we go from recognizing our bodies for their health and grace and strength and resiliency, to picking them apart and criticizing them and starving ourselves to eliminate parts of them and comparing them to others? when money became the vital part of owning anything and therefore critiquing bodies and selling products to combat these new flaws was a new marketing technique to make tons of it. they made something so unimportant a crucial part of life and i think it’s pure bullshit. don’t even just love your body, but realize that its appearance is actually such a stupid thing to waste your energy caring about.”
