Constance Marie Instagram – Me.
Circa 2005.
I really wish I had felt as confident inside,
as I looked on the outside.
(Sigh)
That is the gift that aging gives.
FINALLY learning that lesson.
I am enough!
Finally, becoming comfortable in the skin I am actually currently in.
Honestly it’s still a struggle every day. But I feel I am on the other side of it!
(Mostly)
It is not easy for any of us.
(Sigh)
I used to be embarrassed of these photos.
Too much, not enough, too sexy, not sexy enough, too thin, not thin enough, and on, and on, and on!🥺
We as women are always expected to fit into & check a box. But someone else is always defining the box.
And then add being Latina in top of that.
Too Latin, not Latin enough, blah, blah, blah.
😡
Some very supportive friends of mine were like “F it Constance! Own it!”
And for them I am so grateful.
🙏🏽
So here I am!
💪🏽
“Live and learn, and help future generations of girls feel comfy in their own skin”
That’s my motto.
Because today, with social media and AI (💩), likes and follower count,
It’s only making it harder for them.
😏
My message?
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
No matter what shape or size or ethnicity!
🔥
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
