Self Inspire, right?

Whenever I make a post, I always feel the need to look at my favorite bloggers, and photographers, to see how they post their lives on the web. I don't know why I feel the need to binge search my favorite creative humans, so I can be inspired, and so that i can get my ass into gear to work on my creative self. These women, and men are so dang awesome, and successful, and I tend to thrive on their own creative selves, and not focus on my own creative self. The unfocused me realized this when I posted something on Facebook about how I need to get behind the lens, and start taking pictures of people again, and when I posted that I was looking for encouragement. Sure ONLY 11 people liked it, and a few people commented on it, BUT what hit me was my mother-in-laws comment. She told me that I was too talented to not be doing that. I AGREE SO HARD. I am fucking talented, and I gave up A LOT of what I was "good" at to pursue my passions in photography, and I am still NOT doing it professionally as I wanted.

I get to hang out with a friend in Seattle, or wherever we go, tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting some amazing work done, and I'm going to push myself to show the world, whatever I have to offer. 

Anyway. I need to figure out a way to motivate myself. I need to be independent on this aspect of my life, because I was.

I will not be ashamed.

I have changed a lot in the last year. I went from being a size 8 girl, who only cared about her image, and how men saw her to a size 10-12 girl who has gained more confidence, in herself image, because she didn't give two fuck about what people thought. I know that I've changed, because I can feel it in my bones. I'm not ashamed of my thick legs, my slightly chubby waist, or my arms. All that matters is that I should feel good, and I do.

I hate it when women focus solely on being skinny, starving themselves, or even working out so much that they forget what they were getting fit for. If you're going to diet, or work out, do it for YOURSELF, and not for anyone else. Don't do it for the looks, whistles, or anything like that, because it's what you think of yourself, and how you feel when you look in that mirror. I've learned that when you workout for people, or if you lose weight for people, you lose yourself, and you start to self loath yourself, and women or even men shouldn't do that. 

Learn to love yourself, and do what you want to do to please yourself.

 If friends, or anyone else judges you for doing what YOU want to do, then they don't belong in your life, and if you allow them to shoot you down or keep judging you, then you need to get them out of your life, because all they are, are toxic. 

Have love, and everything good will follow. Surround yourself with people that will not judge you for being who you want to be, and you will be happy. I guarantee it.

Have Love Darlin'
