Love, Off the Record Quotes

“I can be uncomfortable sometimes, and I can dislike how I look occasionally, but I can’t go through life hating my body. It’s the only one I get. I’d rather work to love the way it looks than work to change the way it looks, which is often fruitless effort anyway. And I know that bothers people sometimes, that I refuse to treat my body like a worst-case scenario. That I deign to care for it, and love it, even if I’m not always the most confident in it. Even if I have to sometimes be realistic about how others see me because of it.”
