I like myself. I can see that I am slowly ageing, but I am glad that I can look at myself with affection.
As a young woman, I had eating disorders, weighed 20 kilograms more and thought I was living in the wrong body. It was awful. I am grateful that I was able to leave that behind me.
I am proud of what my body has already achieved. I have given birth to two wonderful boys, had some operations, and my body always recovered quickly.
When you are young, you take it for granted, but now I can appreciate it in a completely different way. And yes, I find myself sexy, and my desire is far from over.
For me, maturity and genuine devotion are directly related. I want to tell young women that beauty is so much more than just smooth, rosy skin and the perfect body.
It is about the love you feel for yourself. Although I feel that young women are already much further ahead than we were back then. When you accept yourself as you are, life is easier.
And I think imperfection is much more interesting than a perfect body and a perfect face. Diversity is something to celebrate. And being proud of yourself. I am not afraid of what is coming;
I am a better version of myself than I was years ago.
Therefore, I am looking forward to what's yet to come.
