## Caption

it’s wild how fast we’re taught to critique our bodies before we ever learn to appreciate them

watching this back, my first instinct was to look at the jiggle
not the power
not the control
not the fact that my body can literally launch itself off the ground again and again

and if i’m being honest, i’ve been struggling with my body image lately
the way i see myself
the things i choose to focus on

unlearning that mindset has been louder than any workout i’ve ever done

because this body
the one i still sometimes pick apart
is strong
capable
and doing things i once couldn’t

so if you’re in that place too
where it’s hard to see anything but the “flaws”
you’re not alone in that

maybe it’s not about getting rid of the jiggle
maybe it’s about finally seeing everything else
