Malia Mel faison by MEL O. MALIA | @melomalia I think it’s important for every woman, man, non-binary being, to know that they are not alone in their journey to self love and acceptance. I want them to realize it is an ongoing process. Some days you’re going to think you’re absolutely killing it and other days you wish yoga pants and slides were work appropriate. Life is too short to wait to lose that last 10lbs before you’re able to love yourself. Take inventory of all of the amazing qualities you possess that have absolutely nothing to do with your physical being. Find the beauty and joy in embracing who you are in this exact moment in time.
