My Own Curves



A while back, I was met with some words that really made me wonder what beauty truly was about. These words were how a woman should look. A beautiful face, a tiny waist, long legs, perfect perky breasts, and legs for days. I had tried so hard to work out to maintain my body, to keep my weight to a level where I was happy, and I hated a lot of my body parts. I had a relapse where I gained some of the weight back on and it made me realize something so important that I wondered why it hurt in the first place. 

 My body is designed for me. It is not designed for you or anyone else. My thighs touch when I walk, they jiggle when I dance, and I have cellulite. Across my stomach are stretch marks from where I carried my children and my hips are not even. My bottom is bigger than my top and my waist is thick. My stomach hangs down when I stand up and goes flat when I lay. But I discovered something. Know what it is? My body is MINE. It belongs to me and I have the will to love it or hate it. If I hate it, it will destroy me along with my confidence due to the fact of what others see as "perfect." I have chosen to love my body because it was one given to me by the love of my parents. My body shows the journey I have traveled, the life I've made, and the stories I've written. I LOVE every part of it and I will not trade it for anything. I accept myself for all the flaws and the beauty it carries. I am perfect in my eyes.

50 Shades Darker

As you all know, I'm a huge fan of the 50 Shades series. When I heard that it was going to take a whole year before Darker came out, I was impatient. But then last night, I went out with my husband to watch it. Let me say, I am deeply satisfied with it. It's entirety is extremely seductive to the point w here I found myself deeply sucked into the film. The pages reeked of sex, submission, and love. When it came onscreen, I found the invitation to be all that and more. It unfolded to me a totally different story than the words I read before my eyes. It became a magnetic pull that drew me into its life so deep, I became lost. The story is so beautifully adapted by director James Foley and made into a world of darkness that dares to threaten our very sanity. Just imagine winning the heart of the one man who couldn't bear to be touched. His pain, his world of tragic, and his inability to be with anyone, overcome by one single woman who had the power to make him want mor
