## Caption

I’ve been having some bad body image days lately 

Today I came home from the gym and looked in the mirror and had a bunch of negative self talk 

I picked apart each part of my body that I didn’t like 

And then I changed angles, and I saw my body change 
It looked different 
And I realized our bodies are not meant to look like a photo or a magazine or a still 

Our bodies move 
and sway 
and change 
and isnt that point ? 
Isn’t that the beauty? 

These photos were taken within 5 seconds of each other 
One is relaxed,
The other posed 

Same body
Same lighting 
Same person 

So next time you’re being hard on yourself, especially your body, 
Remember it’s all perspective 

You are beautiful 
You are strong 
And you are more than enough ❤️❤️
