Confidence is an act of rebellion
The capitalist agenda is designed to make us feel unworthy
So we buy their products
To feel better about ourselves
To have more confidence
Only to tell us that next, we have to fix our grey hairs
Our wrinkles
Our stretch marks
Our eyebrows
Our productivity levels
But what would happen if we chose to feel confident in our own skin?
To make decisions about our bodies and our lifestyle based on our personal wants, desires and goals, not the ones we’ve been told to have?
That’s rebellion
And that’s bloody powerful
I am a firm believer that photography is another almighty way to empower ourselves
By showing the world who we are at this very moment
And saying actually, I quite like myself, thank you very much
The scar on my knee when I fell out of that tree
This mole by my lip
My curly hair with a mind of its own
But remember,
We don’t have to be completely and totally head-over-heels in love with ourselves to live confident, authentic lives
We can choose to be proud of ourselves right now
We can choose to acknowledge that we grow and develop on our own terms and in our own time
Investing in a transformative experience rather than a conglomerate product
Is wildly more valuable
That’s true self-kindness
That’s true self-compassion
That’s true self-love
