We live in an age in which youth is glorified and deified, and a society that equates beauty with young women, perfect women, of a certain size and shape of face and body. An impossible dream made so by air-brushing and photoshopping and cosmetic surgery, and we forget about that illusion as we hold ourselves to these unobtainable standards.
We forget about the beauty that runs deep within our souls, the beauty that comes from living a full life, that comes from taking risks with love and life, with each line upon our face a testament to our daring.

I love this one too! You look so confident. I wonder what makes me see such differences in you with just a single picture. I have seen so many sides it’s like looking at all the facets in a diamond. Is it my old eyes, your camera lens or your beautiful face. I choose to believe in the latter.
Thank you for taking an interest. It is so lovely to feel ‘seen’.
