"I've had a love/hate relationship with my body, being much bigger on the bottom and smaller on top, so over the years, I defaulted to covering up my body to avoid the frustration of trying to find clothes that flatter and comparing myself to others who seem to be able to dress themselves more easily. Ironically, I found my love for my curves in helping others dress theirs! I recently started a styling business, and so much of my work has been helping others find the beauty in their bodies, and slowly I found myself listening to my own advice. It's still a challenge at times, but one thing I realised: no amount of hiding my curves or fantasizing [that] they were different will change them in a day, so I might as well embrace and celebrate them, because tomorrow's not promised!"
