Siena Agudong Instagram – this has been in my drafts for a long time because I’ve been wanting to say something: it’s so easy to judge your body’s shape when body standards are so prominent in our society. I have said it before but remember you are looking at a photo. A photo of a body that could have been virtually altered, filtered through thousands of other photo choices, or perhaps undergoing mental health problems. Whether it is involved with the above options or not, you still have no idea what went on behind the phone. You cannot decide to or plan to LOVE your body only when it reaches the point of _____. You love it through every stage it endures. Not just the look, but the function. The way it allows you to move, communicate with words, and hold a beautiful heart. accepting it full heartedly takes time and validating your feelings during the process is necessary. Release yourself from comparison. My sister, @sydneyagudong told me, “one day you will realize that having the ‘perfect’ body is not the most important thing about you.” Then my friend, @jjaden.d shared online that it is okay to pose in a way that makes you feel good. But loving your body both ways is what matters. you are more than a body. These are just a few words to everyone who needs to hear it. Be kind to yourself and those around you. 🤍love you guys
