My reality is never going to be stick-skinny.
I always say I am myself unapologetically.
When I was heavier, I danced and I jumped out of planes. I've always rejected the idea that there's a certain look or size that makes it acceptable to live life.
I never felt I had to prove myself with anything.
It's very hard for me to find any sort of shame or blame in my life. I'm not made that way.
To be himself, one neeeds to be free from the pressure of evaluative praise
Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of Wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness; facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.
As long as I'm happy with myself and mentally happy, it doesn't matter what other people think. Everyone's always going to have an opinion, you can't stop that.
When you are truly you and share who you are with the world and be confident in who you are, it doesn't matter what size you are. It doesn't matter what your different body parts look like.
There is more to fearlessness than merely having overcome fear... This state of being is not dependent on any external circumstances. It is individual dignity... that comes from being what we are, right now.
If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't really care anymore what people think about me. I'm just gonna be me.
I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show.
For a long time after childhood ended and before I expressed my femininity through androgyny, I really didn't like looking in the mirror much because I just felt like I wasn't attractive.
I am unapologetically myself, no matter what anyone's opinion is.
