They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Earlier today I shared a picture from a few days ago. I had taken it after my cousin’s 70th birthday party and right before I removed my makeup, which was already wearing off. I decided to share this particular photo—unedited, without posing, just looking directly in the camera—because I felt it was my most authentic. I was exhausted, but felt so blessed (hence the reason for the photo). This little girl is now a grown woman. A 50 year old woman who is here, aging, and not afraid to be. No longer afraid to share her authentic, most vulnerable self.
I’m sharing this because a very opinionated friend of mine posted a response that only they could and would. Shaking my head, laughing. Honestly, it was a response that would’ve made me feel awkward for sharing, and would have had me second guessing my decision. However, today, I’m free. As Fantasia sings, “This is me.” It’s me and I absolutely love me.
Here’s my post. Those who get it, get it. Those who don’t…not my problem. I’m living!
That’s all. Just felt like sharing. Praying you have a wonderful night. Listen, don’t be afraid to let people see the real you. It’s you! Love you.♥️
