But with the moment you look in the mirror — and stop searching for what’s “wrong.”
⠀
When you stop shrinking yourself to fit “standards” or “shoulds.”
When, instead of a harsh stare, you offer yourself something softer.

🌿 When you see not just a wrinkle, but a story.
🌿 Not just tired eyes, but all the emotions you’ve carried.
🌿 Not just “extra” weight, but the body that carries you — every day.

True self-acceptance doesn’t sound like “I love myself because I look good.”
It sounds like:
“I love myself because I’m me.”

No permission.
No apology.
No conditions.

🤍 Look at yourself not as a body to fix,
but as a home — one you deserve to return to.

🤍 Look at yourself the way you’d look at someone you truly love:
with forgiveness, kindness, and gratitude.

Because beauty is not appearance.
Beauty is a relationship — with yourself.
⠀
And it all begins with one gaze.
Yours.
