Today I found the courage, to love every photograph,
Even the one's that leave me thinking, do I really look like that?
I'm starting to love them even though, they show a different side of me.
They show the angles and the bits, that I don't normally get to see.
That doesn't mean I shouldn't adore them, for they are all parts I should love,
Even the perceived by me, less flattering ones, are still something to be proud of.
I've always had an issue with having my photograph taken. I would literally do anything to avoid it, which is pretty sad, as there would be occasions where I would look back at photographs and realise it didn't even look like I was there :( . So this is something that I am trying to work on. Today, I found that courage and I let the photographs be taken and I loved them. All of them. For no matter what part of me they captured, whether it was my wobbly bits or strange expression at that moment, they were me! I was there. It captured a memory. So, I am trying to continue this and be in the photographs!
