Feeling Myself...

...from the neck down.


I like my body, always have, and hopefully always will. I don’t like my face as much, not in it’s natural state at least.

Sometimes I see a picture of myself, that someone else took, and I’m like ”dear lord, that is one hell of a reality check, I look horrible!” It’s a fact, that it’s really hard to take a good picture of my face, I know it because I have been doing self portraits for a long time. I know what I look like, from any and every angle, and in every possible lighting. It’s both a horrible and a fantastic thing. I think it has been good to me to model for my own camera, because then I can see myself from other point of view, and I know what I need to work on. I’m also fully in charge of the light (both figuratively and literally) I portray myself in to the rest of the world.

If you inspect my self portrait photography a little closer, you might notice that it’s heavily focused on my body, instead of my face.

This is not me saying this to get your pity and ”omg but your face looks pretty”, I am not like that. This is just me stating facts and my own feelings about myself. I think I see myself like everyone else do too, I don’t have a deformed image of myself. Of course we all have our own ideas of beauty and what we find attractive, but I do have a pretty good idea of what people think is beautiful.

I know where my weaknesses and strengts lie, and I use that knowledge to the best of my advantage, it would be stupid not to. I know I’m not a typican pretty girl, but I know I have wit and a body to make up for what I lack in the face department. I also know that a lot of people don’t like my skinny figure, but because I love it, I truly do, I don’t give a fuck when someone doesn’t.

I’m constantly evaluating myself, and working on to both change and accept the things in myself that I do not like. Inside and out. I have good days, and I have bad days.

You are fucking perfect the way you are. We are always our own greatest critics.

Yes we are all perfect and amazing creatures God created, yadayada 😈

I have seen your face and it is pretty dang cute too!

well I don't show it when I look like a swamp monster, doh.

I think people are likable when they show good and bad

I have shown the not so perfect too, but there is a limit to that, I need you not to run away from me completely! 😝

Pretty awesome. And your face must be the same way! B cause every oerson has a great face to be proud off no matter what everyone else is saying

I don't think there is anything to be proud of, we are just born with the face we have and have little we can do to change it, usually only for the worse by damaging it. But we can work for the body we want to live in.

These are my favorite pics of you that you have posted so far. Very very sexy, real, up close, natural and personal. These are good quality photos of you. You are doing a great job taking care of your piete curvy body. Living in Miami 10 ten years I have seen many girls ruin there natural beauty with too much surgery & unsustainable lifestyles. Keep up the great work!

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to take professional self portraits with my real camera when camera phone photos seem to be just as satisfactory, damn you guys! Well I guess it's a good thing that I'm more demanding of myself than my audience is :D So thank you!

I’m constantly evaluating myself, and working on to both change and accept the things in myself that I do not like. Inside and out. I have good days, and I have bad days.

We all have our ups and downs, but totally agree whith that spirit: change the things we can change, embrace the ones we can't! Easier said than done most of the time... but there's a whole life ahead, nothing needs to be done in a hurry ;)

I frequently feel the same. My toddler daughter saw your top picture and said "that's a lady". Nice how pre-puberty humans don't really see things as pretty or not. They are just things. We could do without the hormones sometimes as adults.

Haha, that is cute, even though I am no lady ;) Oh lord what I would do to not have to deal with hormonal changes...

I'm in a similar position. I'm completely in love with my body below the waist or so, but I'm not all that enthusiastic about my upper body or my face. So the way I prefer to dress, and the way I emphasize my body in photos, reflects that.

It's frustrating that today's fashions don't offer all that many options for emphasizing legs on a male body, though.

I love my skinny little legsies and so glad that emphasizing them works great for the female body. Even though you are a man, don't underestimate how crazy some girls get when seeing a man in well fitting jeans ;)

Kuolattaa... Sulla on kyllä naurettavan hyvä kroppa. Mutta kylläpä mää sun naamastaki tykkään, vaikka kuinka illuusiot särkyy :D

Älä naura, ihan on normaali kroppa, ei mitään naurettavaa! Pään sisältö onkin sit sitäkin naurettavampi...

Hahah, normaalia parempi kroppa! Mutta pään sisältö on kyllä vähä hönö. Ja se on hyvä niin x)

10 on 10 figure...innovative!!!

your body is very beautiful,​ plse vote for my post also..

Go beg somewhere else, outside of Steemit.

That is such a nice and pursuasive write up with good potrail of pictures.🤩🤩

Wow stunning!!! We are all very critic about how we look like.

Upvoted... :)

Folow me i will Follow back
Let's Grow Together

you look great in wite :) but don't worry to much about tje face :) it's the part of your body with expression, and let me tell you...the expression and looks are darn ok !!!

Expressions, those I have, too many of. Dear lord I feel like I want to botox my face to make it stay a little more still 😂😅

hahaha why, it's great as it is....trust me !!

Confidence above all

you can think what you want about your face... but in my art projects with you as a model I always have a lot of fun playing with your hair.

That is a bit funny one to me, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair :D

Killer body and beautiful face! 😍 Self love!

very nice. you have a very pretty face you just need to start wearing sunscreen daily.

Sunscreen is poison to me, no thanks.

Find one that you feel is non toxic, if you want to stay beautiful you will either need to get serious about sunscreen or stay out of the sun. I have a friend who eschewed sunscreen and by her 30s she looked like an old shoe. You don't want this to happen to you:

That old leather bag look needs insane amounts of sun, I live in Finland, you know how fucking dark it is in here for most of the year!? 😅

That just means you are all the more susceptible to sun damage during those super long days and when visiting lower latitudes. It's cold and dark most of the year here in New England yet those who live on Cape Cod and the Islands have like double the normal rate of skin cancer.

WHITE IS TIGHT!

Uhhh I gotta leave before I lose it :D

Haha, you are so EASY!

I never doubted this... :P

Vaikka ei pitäisi ketään edes vähää alusta täydellisenä, niin silti saa pettyä tarpeeksi usein...mut hei en oo koskaan pettyny sun ulkonäköön, oot siis ihan semi jees;D

I understand why you like your body, you're a living sculpture 😍

And there's my favorite model. Hope you're well Eve, looking great as always. Where is the smile?

The smile is in some other post!

I checked and found the smile. Keep smiling, it's a good smile.
