  • Following up my last post: Selfies have this narcissistic aspect about them. More often than not they make me feel self-indulgent. It comes with the idea that I can only “look this good” in pictures but not IRL. It’s obvious this comes from years of low self-esteem and self deprecating thoughts, but now, I can finally say... I don’t (most of the time) feel this way. It’s weird, liking yourself is weird which shouldn’t be. Liking yourself should be the norm. Is it yours? #selflove #thoughts #selfie
  • Now, people tend to dismiss the body positive movement because it seems like another “fad” or because people don’t want to sound corny online. Honestly, it’s one of the best things that has happened to women in particular. We’ve grown up with such a distorted idea on what beauty is, on how our biggest merit is to *look* beautiful, to be looked at, to be perceived as attractive and to challenge this generational idea is an act of bravery within itself. To challenge years of being told how we should look, act, to finally say and admit that you like yourself is to reclaim your power. Your power to choose because a consumerist society will always tell you something’s wrong with you so you can buy the next shiny thing. photo by @thepouf words by @kristamurias #selflove #bodypositive #mirror #art #beauty

  • i think one of the few good things that came out from gen x is kurt contain/nirvana and what makes it 10x better is knowing it was a feminist band. funny how gen x always talks trash about millennials and they’re the forgotten generation lol #90s #feminist #feminism #nirvana #kurtcobain #band #genx #grunge
