2. Feeling self love : stressLess-life

Feeling self love

false

About a few months ago, my mom sent a picture of my grandma and her siblings when she was my (early 20s) age. When looking at the pictures I just thought she looked so beautiful, like I couldn’t look away. I wanted to compare a picture of mine to her to see if there were any similarities because when I compared my face to my parents, I had bits and parts of them, but I didn’t look the same like you would see with other people and their parents when they were younger. For example, I didn’t have the same smile as either of my parents, I look a little more like my mom, but I always wondered who my smile came from because I didn’t know.

Anyway, I made some comparisons and to my surprise I look EXACTLY like my maternal grandma!! It was so exciting and idk shocking because she’s so beautiful and previously I never really saw myself as beautiful… I was always seeing some type of flaw despite what others would tell me. I would always say to myself, “I wish I could see what they were seeing.”

It was weird because when I saw her, I just thought, “is this what others see when they look at me?” Now I can see what others see.

Idk so after that I’ve just felt so beautiful! I have my days where I feel gross and ugly but it’s few and far between these days. I’m actually very happy with how I look. This is huge for me as I’ve struggled so much mentally, with self hatred, and anorexia…. Among other things. Today, and these past few months I’ve felt ok with myself, I feel beautiful and happy with my weight. I like myself. 💛🤍

I actually never got to really get to know my grandma, she was very grumpy when she was alive and very old. She had a hard life and died when I was very young. But, I feel like nowadays I’m a lot more connected with her soul. So to get that picture from my mom and for her to look just like me just makes me feel good.
