Underneath all the layers of style and presentation and the desire to blend in...
I see you.
I see you when you don't want to make waves or stand out in ways
that call attention to your truth, your insecurities and your perceived flaws.
I see you because I see me.
We try to hide who we are and present only what we believe is palatable to the masses.
We don't have to do that anymore.
It's time to release our incomprehensible expectations.
It's time to forgive our own skin
for what ever color, age or condition it's in.
It's time to forgive everything.
It's time to love ourselves.
