This week, @missy gave the blog assignment: How has SG changed your life?
How hasn't SG changed my life.
gah! I cannot stress enough, how grateful I really am for being accepted into such a loving, supportive, and real community of people. Before SG, I lacked confidence, understanding, and the ability to appreciate the beauty in everyone, including myself. I have an incredible amount of respect for the people here (SGs, hopefuls and members) because I think it's so rad that everyone is comfortable enough to bare their bodies and souls to this community the way they do. And I have an equal amount of respect for the people that are just here to admire the bodies and souls. Before I became apart of this website, I really wasn't sure that this kind of love and respect existed.
I have met/e-met some of the most honest and incredibly interesting people because of SG. Be it here, on suicidegirls.com or out in the world. I guess people that truly adore the female form are just the type of people I gravitate towards and have most in common with. There is no other feeling like knowing you have thousands of sisters all over the world. <3
Since joining SG, I have learned to completely be myself, in all aspects of my life. I always knew that it was okay to be myself, but I didn't always stick to my principals and ideals. It's incredibly inspiring to see so many women around me, embrace themselves for everything that they are and everything that they believe in.
But most of all, SG helped me reclaim what I felt didn't belong to me. I can't explain how freeing it feels to bare your body to the world when for so long you felt like your body wasn't yours. To make a decision for your body that was no one else's decision but your own. Inexplicably the best feeling in the world.
Thank you to those who supported me and to those who continue to support me.
