“I make a wish for women like me. For everyone who has felt ashamed of their bodies, and ashamed of that shame.
For everyone who has ever felt like the weird one. The ugly one. The worst one. For everyone who fears this means they are less loved. For everyone who has found themselves in dark and desperate places while searching for self-worth.
For everyone who has ever felt beauty is binary, a mandatory test with a 100 per cent pass mark, and every day is a failure. I wish for us to forgive ourselves.
May we let go. May we stop hoping and waiting to be worthy of placement on someone else's pedestal. May we pay less attention to fixing our own perceived flaws, and more attention to life itself. Let us stop waiting for someone to tell us we are good enough to start living.
May we all find the courage to live in our skin, and in the light.”
