"You know what is amazing?
Just a couple of years ago I was walking backwards out of rooms to avoid my own husband seeing my cellulite.
I wouldn’t wear certain leggings that might show it.
Or long sarongs to hide.
But then I started seeing these woman.
In this little community called Instagram.
They were showing up and showing themselves.
And suddenly all that shame and aloneness I felt started to shrink.
In time it shrunk so small I barely noticed it anymore. This shame I had carried for so long.
It was replaced by something new.
Something that wasn’t shame and it wasn’t really pride either.
It was somewhere in the middle.
A non thought.
The non thoughts led me to live my life more presently.
To forget about what the backs of my thighs might look like and instead focus on all that was in front of me.
All because women in front of me chose to exist in their bodies, I now choose to exist in mine.
How amazing is that?" The amazing @thebirdspapaya in her Every Bodysuit💖
