Self Love is an Act of Rebellion
Added 2022-02-12 06:23:18 +0000 UTCBoudoir photography really came into popularity in the 1920s. At this point in time though it was still illegal to show nudity in photographs. 100 years later and here we are, in basically the same spot. I think for so many, the act of photographing yourself nude, semi-nude, or even sensually is a huge show of self-love. This display of radical acceptance is exactly the form of rebellion most frowned upon. We are taught to be beautiful but to stay humble. Try hard, but not too hard or you'll seem desperate.
"Hey girl, I just want you to know you're so beautiful."
"Yeah, I know."
"Fuck you. You're barely a 5."
How can anyone ever win? By loving themselves and not letting anyone else dictate their value or worth, especially by something as trivial as appearance. In the words of Moira Rose:
"Then allow me to offer you some advice: Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"

Strength and beauty shows through. Learning acceptance. I am still finding the right medium and platform to post and release a lot of them.

I am an old man and based upon my experience all women are beautiful and sexually attractive. The only thing that is ugly are people's personalities and souls. One last comment, Danielle you looked exquisitely beautiful in the photos.
