Self love is something that I have been struggling with for years. Especially at the start of 2020, so basically when COVID started, the way I viewed my self became a way more prominent part of my life. It didn't matter if it was physical or mental, none of it was good. "I'm not fat, but I could be skinnier." "I'm so annoying." "I hate myself so much." I used to say these things to my friends and kind of let them slide off as jokes, but the fact that I was saying those things out loud was one of the reasons I started believing they were true. In the past 2 years, both me and the image i have of myself have changed a lot. Even though I've learned to love myself more than I did 2 years ago, I'm definitely still not where I want to be. Therefore this shoot was probably the hardest shoot I've ever done, but I could not be happier and more proud of how it turned out. I hope you all like these images, inspired by my struggles with depression and self love over the past 2 year, they mean a lot to me.
