A Love Letter
In case the photograph is too small/my handwriting is illegible, you can read the whole thing in a larger size here.
To say Radical Self Love is but a 28 day journey beginning the 1st of February and concluding as the month is up, is quite the oversight. Finding happiness with yourself has no start or finish line. It’s not a race you try to run as quickly as possible or have to complete in x amount of time. It’s a state of mind. Love, happiness, balance, … whatever have you, it’s a conscious decision you make and the actions you take move you towards that ultimate goal.
“You are always living the life you create. If your life does not feel right, create something better.” (Anon.)
I choose to find as much positivity as I can within my day to day life and cast out as much negative energy as possible. I want to make a change in my outlook on life, and part of that change comes with learning to be confident in who I am. To love myself. Maybe I don’t quite believe everything in the above letter to myself just yet, but I’m learning. And the more I read it, the more I find myself moving further away from a wary “I’m okay” to an enthusiastic “I’m awesome!”. While I’m not quite ready to profess my love at the top of my lunges just yet, I think it’s safe to say my thoughts lean slightly closer to the latter statement than the former. And considering where I was only a few years ago, I think that’s a massive, massive shift in my perspective. Getting to a resounding “I love me!” will take time, and maybe a lot more of it, but it’s time I’m willing to invest.

P.S. I’m really happy with the way these photographs came out. I’m no photographer by any means, but I think they turned out fairly nice. A little grainy, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do about that with a cheap point-and-snap camera.
