Pictures

I applaud the women who are able to feel really proud of their body. More power to them! I am not one of them.

In the mirror I see faults, tons of faults. It is hard to look away, hard to ignore them.

Then I log onto fetlife or similar sites and I see these incredible beautiful women and men and I feel a bit like an ugly duckling. An ugly duckling that will never be a swan.

However, I know that I am not alone in this. There are many that struggle with being body positive. I see the beauty and sexy and the steamy images when I look at the pictures, but the person in the picture may only see a small belly, a long nose, an awkward pose and so forth.

We tend to see just our own faults or rather what we believe are our faults when looking at our picture, while others see only beauty or glow. So I am so incredibly grateful for the people putting their picture out there. Showing off and enjoying it.

I think that there are many who also, like me, struggle with their bodies, with how they look and sometimes they struggle with showing of their kink. Still, they are brave enough to show it off, to post it so all can see. It is incredibly inspiring, whether you like that body type or that kink or not.

I am slowly working on becoming more body-positive. Looking at myself in the mirror and smiling, sending images to my Master and being proud. At least trying to.

I am also pushing myself to post pictures on fetlife, just to show off a bit. It feels a bit strange as I hate taking pictures, but it is also a good way to become more comfortable, strangely enough. It sort of pushes me a bit out of my shell. I don’t think I am exhibitionistic, but sometimes the mood strikes me and it feels good to post.

So a big HIGH FIVE to all who are struggling with body issue and a big HIGH FIVE to all who are not struggling.

And, lets celebrate diversity in all it’s thick, thin, big, small, tall, short and all other shapes.
