I get to the point where it's like... what's even the point?
This series speaks personally to me because I've dealt with self-esteem (or lack there of) since puberty. During the day, you can fight it off and ignore the part of your soul that is screaming that it hates every inch of fat and every piece of flabby skin. I'm nearly twenty years old and I can't look at myself naked, think about bathing suits, or even function normally. I know thousands of women feel this way, and no one ever talks about it. It's so deepy engrained in our culture that we can't erradicate it; the human species has evolved to teach women at age 6 that you're worthless unless you're thin. But the truth is, you can run and diet yourself to death, and you will never be what you see in the magazines... ever.

De temps en temps j’arrive à une certaine pointe où je me demande : à quoi mes efforts servent-elles ? J’ai décidé de faire cette série car je trouve que je n’ai pas d’amour-propre. Vous pouvez courir, se mettre au régime, vomir, etc. mais malgré tout ça, vous ne seriez pas ce que vous voyez dans les magazines.

Il faut qu’on aime le corps qu’on a.


Appreciate you and the body that works for you, day after day.

To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail. If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever. Distance is pure proof of this, and forever we will love if we survive.

So totally true.

I'm glad my work hits home on a very personal level with people. It's like someone seeing things the way I do
