This Valentine's day I want to learn to love myself as much as this man loves me. To see the beauty he sees even when I have toothpaste all over my face (a great trick for healing zits). ♥️ I'm loving the creative spirit I've always had but never think is good enough. 🖤 I'm loving the skin I'm still trying to clear up after 3-years of adult acne. ♥️ I'm loving the body that takes me places, helps me move, and allows me to create, even though I often feel like we're at war with each other (but have to remember we’re not) 🖤 I'm loving the quiet voice of my heart that I often shut out in order to listen to my brain. She's wiser than I (or brain) give her credit for. ♥️ Most importantly I'm loving myself for everything I am, everything I'm not. The light side, the dark side, and all the in-between. I'll never be perfect nor will I live up to everyone else's expectation but if I could love myself the way that I know my husband loves me, I think this world would be a much more beautiful place...at least through my eyes. Happy Valentine's day. May today be a day filled with love for yourself and those around you no matter your relationship status!

“What does it feel like to be a sausage in s crockpot, sitting in stew? It is warm and overwhelmingly wet!” 

“I hope the world looks sharp but touches you softly.” 

I have been writing myself letters for each month. This love letter to January felt very sweet and I thought it might bring some warmth to hearts in the void. 

Love u

Hey Tumblr! It's been a while. Life's been crazy, and I'll update that later. For now, just a picture. Daddy and I are headed out for the night, and I actually feel good about the way I look, so I wanted to share...

Monday March 8, 2021. A Start.

Dear Future Self,

I’ve been trying to get into journaling, into sitting down and reliving my days, pouring my heart out, following prompts... I love it, don’t get me wrong, but the issue is that I don’t always remember to do that. I can’t add the pictures I take to the things I write down. There’s so much that I cannot express on paper.

So, here I am! On Tumblr yet again, but this time it’s not for my typical social media “fall down a scroll hole” use. This time, it’s for my benefit. To add my thoughts, experiences, pictures, and journals to a space where I can always see them, collect them. Well, I did it. Let’s hope I can keep this up (just this one thing, self? For once?).

With my intent and a bit of pleading with myself out of the way, let’s set some personal goals!:

Type out a journal post per day. Can be a recap, a moment, or a prompt.

Post adventure pictures here. I know I’m slack on other social media about posting my adventures, but here it’s not for anyone else to see and keep up with, this is for me to remember the good times.

GO ON THE ADVENTURES! Don’t just sit at home dreaming about the adventures you want to go on “one day”- Go do them! Make your life something you love to be a part of, are actively living, not something you have to do, and certainly not a transitory period.

Inspire yourself, appreciate yourself, and love every moment you get to live. Use this as a way to celebrate your every day life.

Love, LC

This episode spoke to me so deeply, I have had my own struggles which are different from Demi but, the fact that she is willing to speak out about all of this makes me so extremely happy because these are topics that need to be talked about!

So typical of me. I posted the photos I could actually stand looking at first. I'm working through this guys. As soon as I put my hashtag #journeytofreedom I asked myself "Why didn't you post the other photos that you took time to take?" What did I tell myself? I don't like my thighs or how big the dress makes me look or my large arms. They are ALL too big. Black is supposed to make you slimmer, but I look like a blimp. BUT! Then I remembered some things people just posted "Thick thighs save lives" and then "Thick Cute" and then "Black thick girl magic". Even while taking the pictures I was singing 'Big Girl You Are Beautiful' by #Mika That's when I realized that I NEED to have these photos somewhere as well. Whenever I get to where I am going I will be able to look back and see where I came from. I'm quite far from my original weight goal, so I changed it again. Just 2lbs in three weeks. That's what I want right now~ I already lost 1 lb, so I need another. I'm putting in work, but I hate how slow this process is!!! Anyway, this is a post for me. #mentalhealth #journeytofreedom #learningtoloveme #photos #posing #thickgirls #thickthighs (at Hotel 109) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2q70K5HPkI/?igshid=178hbfy4fddmd

Learning to love myself while in my darkest moments has been an amazing experience. I'm not the woman I was a year ago, or even 6 months ago. And the woman I am today is so very ok with the person I'm am at this moment. But I'm more excited to get to know the woman I will be at the end of this journey! #livingmybestlife #learningtoloveme #changeishardbutsoworththereward #iamstrong #iambeautiful #iamloved (at Cordova, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvRd8gg5xAI84lOrXYVt1eCsVeytOOSmt8LtQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oneejhjg5nb4

Softness has never come easy to me. Strength, stoicism and harshness is where I feel most comfortable. • I’ve spent time cultivating softness in my life but it was never for me. It was always because I made others uncomfortable by being too much. Yesterday I decided I wanted to start practicing my softness, for me. • The softer side of things, the sitting with myself is where all my emotions bubble to the surface. And if I’m 100% honest it’s not my favorite place to be. • It’s been easier to stay stoic and avoid them. To lean into my strength and drive in these moments. To allow them to carry me through. But this is when I need the softness most of all. • So this morning I spent 20 minutes with myself in the mirror softening my edges. Being soft and sensual for me. Not for anyone else. • So often as women our bodies’ beauty is something to be possessed by others that we often forget to cultivate this soft, beautiful magic just for our selves. • Do you lean more towards strength or softness? Do you practice whatever doesn’t come naturally to you? How? • - • - • #sensualselfiechallenge #sensuality #soften #softness #createcultivate #learningtolovemyself #learningtoloveme #sensual_women #movementculture #selflove #womenempowerment #womenpower #womenstuff #grlpwr #loveyourself #loveandalliscoming (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFtAqzAwNn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pe6d7efag5k3

A few days before New Years Eve I stumbled upon this book in my local bookstore and I knew I needed it. The end of 2018 had me feeling distracted, lonely, distant, and frankly a little lost. I found myself struggling to find joy or happiness in my job and life. The first project in this book is to collect a beautiful moment each day and collect them in a jar. I’m 3 days into this project and already I feel my focus shifting. I’m no longer looking at all the little things that are taking joy from my day, instead I am searching for the little things that give me joy. I am more focused on the moment and living in it. I don’t know what 2019 has in store for me, but I do know I will find the joy in it. Here is to a year of being more mindful and finding my joy. #abookthattakesitstime #newyear #2019 #mindfulness #joy #collectbeautifulmoments #ajourneyinmindfulness #learningtoloveme https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMhlv5neU7gCmxXoAnSKp71_YQOQvxeRDykFs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dpk1ds1q9yw6
