I had a child. My body created a human being and one of the biggest side effects to having children for me is how I became body positivity. It is an amazing side effect that I am so fortunate to have experienced.⁣ Where there is a person who wishes they could get rid of their stretch marks from pregnancy, there is another who would give anything to have them. ⁣ My stretch marks are evidence of my experiences of becoming a mother. They are small little symbols to remind me of my bodies capabilities and the amount of space I had to make for my little ones. The rapid change in my body created these little lighting bolts and remind me that I am a force to be reckoned with. I am a strong and beautiful woman. I worked hard to become the person I am today and I still have plenty to learn. ⁣ My body is like a good story. I have so many marks, dimples and bumps to tell one great adventure. I don’t have to look like you to be beautiful. I just have to look like me to be beautiful.
