I forgive myself for the misunderstanding that I have to sacrifice myself in order to be respected. I forgive myself for the misunderstanding that I have to break myself down in order to be loved. I forgive myself for the misunderstanding that I have to betray myself in order to belong. I forgive myself for the misunderstanding that I have to give up who I am in order to succeed. I forgive myself. I forgive myself. I forgive myself for trying so hard to belong, to be loved, to make others happy, to make others comfortable. I realize through all the lessons, that the only way forward is through radical love, a deep spiritual practice and radical acceptance. ID: a photoshoot I was super ashamed to post because of its intimate nature — but I have not stopped wearing these pieces made with love of the world and people... looking back at this time of ease comfort and beauty I realize how precious these moments of ease are; And so I welcome more ease more healing and more abundance in my space +++ I welcome more love and wonder @ozma_of_california Photos by @emmysu Hair by @skimdo Collaboration w/ @1hotels
