Think the Perfect Body Will Make you Happy? Think Again
I used to think that having the “perfect” body would cue my “perfect” life to start — that this future badass self would be my backstage pass to confidence and joy. But now, I know it’s really just about staying true to who you are in the face of possible judgment and rejection. It’s about being unapologetic about who you are, even if that person is imperfect and uncool. And it’s about learning to accept yourself, so you don’t need the acceptance of others.
