I'd time for another throwback thursday! Not-so-fun fact, when I was around fifteen, i would extremely over edit my photos. I wanted to erase everything that seemed like an imperfection. I'd white out my nose, tuck my stomach, and shrink my arms. I think i did all of those things to the photo below, And looking at it makes me sad... There probably wasn't anything wrong with the original picture. Infact i bet you it was prettier than this one, because it was me, unfiltered. I wish i could travel back in time, and tell myself to step away from "photowonder" and start to love everything about myself. No ones perfect, and that's what makes us wonderful.
The sad thing is, with a lot of photos like these, the originals don't even exist anymore. And the more time that passes, the easier it is to forget that it's all an illusion. The minute I found this photo, I started to compare my current self, to my past self, until i remembered...I guess this ended up being a strange little ramble, But i just want you all to know, You're beautiful. Lets stop trying to edit and fix ourselves, and embrace what makes us unique.
Lots of love,
xo Paige
