the problem has never been your body | victoria bc boudoir photography

the “problem” has never been your body.

when your friends, peers, parents, families are telling you proudly about their latest fad diet…

how can the “problem” be something “wrong” with your natural body,

when no one is immune to the virus of toxic body image?

how can we believe that we must change ourselves,

and not dismantle the systems that made us doubt our worthiness to begin with?

our bodies are art.

our bodies are natural.

our bodies are extensions of the universe –

our physical vessels to laugh, play, sing, dance, jump, breathe, hug with.

the next time you stand in front of the mirror and doubt yourself –

ask yourself where those thoughts came from.

and who they are serving by making you feel small.

the next time you stand in front of the mirror and doubt yourself –

remember where you came from.

from the endless creation of the universe itself.

you are, quite literally, a cosmic work of art.
