Be Kind, Be Well

 

♥️ this ♥️

Just had to re-share…

I want you to look at this photo. 

I mean -really- look at it. 

What do you see?

Two women. Two battles.

Two hearts. Two souls. Two bodies. 

When you look at this photo, try not to judge. 

Instead, try to understand that we all face our own battles every day. 

Some we might share with others, some we keep to ourselves.

They might be obvious. They might not be.

Everyone is facing something they struggle with. 

EVERYONE. 

And no matter what separates your battles from hers, his battles from theirs, we are ALL human.

Be kind ❤

this photo touched my soul

this photo moved me deeply 

I have had an unhealthy relationship with food my entire life—as an adult, I have been a binge eater, growing to nearly 300 pounds and I have starved myself down to 117 on a 5’9” frame. Even though I am finally comfortable in my own skin, I will always struggle with my body image, as most women do, whether or not they admit it. 

I have achieved some semblance of balance in the last year-and-a-half on my wellness journey for which I am proud—present moment living has been my single most profound, life changing epiphany—freeing me from many mental health challenges to which I was bound, far too long. I still struggle, though to a drastically lesser extent, and I am still learning how to flow with the reality that I create for myself in every thought’s subtle shift. It’s a beautiful Life and I’m grateful to be here, still. 

Love and hugs, wherever you are, this moment. ♥️
