So, this is a bit different than the one I uploaded to facebook [see here] and I wanted to share this one as well because I had the longest time trying to figure out which I liked more. I basically wanted to create a message for myself, and to others, to embrace all the best parts of yourself. Recognizing what you can give to the world and letting yourself shine those inner beauties.
Life is a battle. Constantly throwing new things at you that test your faith in yourself, the strength you carry, and the wisdom you hold. To grow. To expand. To learn. You inevitably become what you surround yourself with. No matter who you are, what you sink your thoughts into, and what people become a part of your everyday life. Our subconscious is deeper than we all realize and this is why I plaster things that inspire me to keep going everywhere I can think of. Sometimes I use post-it notes in my car on the way to work. Sometimes it's taking nights like tonight to blog out all the thoughts that reside within me. Sometimes it's taking moments like this picture and embracing what I feel is best about me, rather than what I don't like about myself. It's an exercise everyday to look in the mirror and say "What can I take on today?" and from how much more I have grown to love and appreciate my own self from even 3 years ago has come so much farther.
I am alive. I am healthy. I am beautiful.
Happiness is a journey. Not a destination.

Hello gorgeous! :-) You look great in these portraits, as I'm sure you do in "real life" as well ;-) And I agree with what you've written here as well.
