something motherhood and pregnancy has taught me is that beauty truly does come from within. the notion of ‘perfect’ slowly escaped me and carried me to a place of self-acceptance and selflessness. I’ve become more & more freed from the chambers of self-criticism, allowing myself to let go of trivial thoughts, and shifting my focus to what’s most important: growing my baby and raising my little human who depends on me. pictures can be worth a thousand words, and to me, these photos tell the story of a young, resilient mom who is so changed from who she used to be, who didn’t lose her identity but instead evolved her existing one into something more profound and meaningful. she’s free from her old demons, despite having new struggles, because her perspective completely changed as she cared for her firstborn and then created another miracle. motherhood has consumed her in healthy ways and she feels weightless to the worries of the past and what used to bring her down. she has the waves of the sea written on her skin, and life has a whole new purpose. 🕊️🤍 leave the word “DRESS” to get the link sent to you! https://liketk.it/5cQOV
