Woman Crush Wednesday

I must admit, I am not much of a hashtag user when it comes to social media. I use #blessed in an ironic way, I never had a #mcm / #mancrushmonday, & I make up long hashtags when I don't feel like captioning a photo. Search #firstdayofspringicecream on Instagram & the only picture you will see is me licking an ice-cream cone.

But today I do have a #wcw / #womancrushwednesday…MYSELF! I'm not being cocky or conceited - I spent a lot of my life hating myself & it took what seems like forever to get to a point where I love myself. I took the time to do what made my soul happy. I rid myself of fake friends & toxic people. I started to embrace the time I spent with myself. I realized that my struggle was not my identity.

Obviously, this is not the best picture of me - I have no makeup on, my hair is a mess, & I have a ratty t-shirt on. But, I'm happy & my heart is filled with joy because this picture captures me spending quality time with my favorite little dude.

Once I accepted who I am, flaws & all, I no longer needed anyone else to accept me. I am obsessed with being a strong woman, comfortable in her own skin. I'm a work in progress, my life is constantly under construction, I know I'm not perfect, but I can say that I finally love who I am - unfortunately, not a lot of women can say that.

Sending positive vibes that every girl in this harsh world loves herself.
