Hello. My name is Sarah. I’m 20 years old and I can safely say this is the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE ACCEPTED MYSELF AS THE TRULY BEAUTIFUL PERSON I AM.
For so long a time, my mind was poisoned with depression and the negativity of others. But one of the most beautiful realizations someone can have is that they are so much more than their illness and the opinions of others.
I know I have a kind heart and a love for others—a love I had so long denied. As a teenager, I struggled with self-mutilation and anorexia. I struggled with my body and I struggled with my face. I had been told that I was “pretty, aside from my face.” And, for the longest time, I tried to cover this face through make-up techniques and hiding away. But there comes a day when you can tolerate no more.
If only everyone were to embrace who they are and show others the true beauty that lies within them. People are people; and for that reason, each and every one of them is beautiful in one form or another.
I’m posting this particular picture because:
1) I recently got my hair done (a Mohawk) and I have never felt more “me” in my entire life.
2) Despite what others have said about my face, I adore my eyes.
3) This is beauty in one of its forms. I am beautiful precisely as I am.
If only we could all see ourselves for what we truly are, we could love one another’s “flaws,” we could see the beauty of imperfection and we could embrace people wholeheartedly.
Each and every one of you is beautiful. And I am terribly proud of myself and others who take the step toward freeing themselves for the chains of the media, the “perfect body,” and their own negative self-perceptions.
Keep Strong.
