Wow. So it seems that some people don't find Nakedjen so wonderful or uplifting. While I know that this person who wrote this actually did take time to peruse Nakedjen and to read at least some of this blog, I still think he missed the point. Somewhat.
And that's okay. I suppose to some people I am something awful!
I'm not here to please everyone. Obviously.
I'll say it again. I'm here, even if some find it to be something awful, to encourage all of us to love the bodies that we have. Every.single.inch. The odd upper gums, the flabby thighs, the paunchy stomachs.
Every single bit.
We're encouraged by the media and by others to hate our bodies. To hate ourselves. And that hatred seeps in. It makes us less than we can and should be. And that just isn't right. Hatred of ourselves spawns more hatred. And pretty soon we're an angry war-mongering society that has forgotten how to love.
I may look like a two year old to Zach Parsons, but so what? That's just in his eyes.
I love my body. I love me. And I'm going to keep encouraging all of you to love yourselves, as well. Love starts with you. You loving you.
Yes, even you, Zach Parsons. Show yourself some love.
