I can't tell you how many times I've thought about keeping this website private or just deleting the whole thing. But I've finally decided I'm not going to do that. For the longest time, I struggled with the topic of beauty on my own... not because I didn't have awesome parents who could help me (because I do) and not because I didn't grow up with people who would tell me I was beautiful (because my grandparents did plenty of that). No, despite all this, I did not talk about beauty because I was ashamed. I was ashamed of the fact that I didn't like my body. I was ashamed of my body.
I can't help but think of the girl or woman out there who knows this feeling. I wanted so desperately to know that there was someone else out there who understood what I was going through. I wanted to know whether I was the only one with this shame, but most of all, I wanted the truth that could break it. So, I'm starting this blog, at the risk of seeming weird or self-important or immature, to share what I've learned and am still learning every day. This is for the woman who can't stand to look in the mirror. It's for the girl who loves selfies too. I have a passion to encourage and help women see themselves rightly... Through His eyes.
Let's try this together, shall we?
