listen.

this isn't self acceptance. this is the complete opposite.

i just came back from a quick trip to australia to see death cab for cutie with my boyfriend. i have a whole bunch of photos to edit and a roll of film to drop off. but i had a quick look through my photos and immediately wanted to put this up.

it's sooc, apart from the border. flying home at sunset.

(if you didn't know, planes and airports are two of my favourite things in the whole world.)

so i've been working on this half assed series, something i don't put too much conscious effort into but every now and then, a new photograph will join it. just like the one below this.
it's about my skin, about my troubles with my skin.
not many people really even know about it since i hide it so much.
but with every photo in this series, i work up a bit more courage to show you a bit more. to not edit it out as much as i did the last.
i guess it's sort of a way to work on my self acceptance.

and then i saw this lovely series and thought why not just show it? yes it's me. and showing this is scary. but this is a huge part of me and it's something that consumes me and i have to work with it and try and get rid of it every single day.

the least i can do is try and create something good out of it, even if that's just a little photo series only i care about, instead of just suffering and just hiding.

this, for me, is terrifying.
