I want to make this post short and sweet. I have noticed I spend a bit of time each day looking at progress pictures/before and after photos of myself. Or listening to music and thinking about how far ive come. I really do admire the progress ive made and its starting to show.
Yesterday I set my wallpaper as myself. Legit just a picture I felt good in. And then I realized; "hey, maybe that's a little weird to have a picture of yourself plastered on your phone." It seemed like a bit much, then I changed it and went down a long rabbit hole of thinking about my tendencies. Searching through reddit to see who can relate and such. I found multiple people saying its weird to have yourself as your wallpaper because it gives off self centered vibes.
I've come to realize these aren't narcissistic behaviors. I am genuinely just not disgusted with the way I look anymore and could not be happier. I am seriously able to look in the mirror, and see collarbones. Why would I NOT be excited and wanting to look at the progress I've made when I open my phone?
The fact I AM ABLE TO look at progress pictures, because I've made progress, is absolutely amazing. And of course it brings me happiness.
Looking at it from this perspective might help some people, because I know at least one person can relate. After being so insecure for years on end, it feels like too much when you start gaining confidence in yourself. When you enjoy looking at yourself. Even typing this it feels WEIRD. Because there's still a girl inside of me that's not in the same head space as I am now.
Please know that whether or not you or someone else thinks your new found confidence is too much, it never is. You are not self centered, you are just experiencing true self love and appreciation now. Seriously.
You deserve it.
Oh yeah, and I changed my wallpaper back :)
