Promises. @ 7:33 PM

Promises.


I promise to always see myself as beautiful.

I promise to always be my own greatest ally.

I promise every day to feel the beauty I want others to see, for I must feel it for them to see it.

I promise to love myself unconditionally.

I promise to be unapologetic about the things I once considered flaws in my appearance.

I promise to expect - nay, demand - that the world accept me as I am, because who I am is lovely.

I promise to see myself as the sex icon, the goddess, the visage of loveliness and beauty, that I am.

I promise to remember that it's totally not the minutiae of a woman's features that makes her beautiful...or not. It's something far more intangible.

I promise to never lose sight of these principles, but carry them with me every day for as long as I live, to always go forward to new heights of confidence, awe-inspiring beauty, and loveliness.
