Body love is something that everyone should have for themselves. Why is it then so difficult to truly achieve, understand and feel it? The term has been thrown around and twisted in a countless amount of ways for quite some time. It is a positive term, which literally has the word love it in. Whether you call it“ body positivity,”“ self love” or“ body love,” it’ s all relatively similar. In its purest form, it’ s simply to have love for one’ s body and self, unapologetically. For so many people, this is a hard pill to swallow. I know for myself it definitely was. Our whole lives, we are shown and told through, at the very least, the media that our bodies should not be loved, that we are far from perfect and that only a few very lucky people get to live up to the ideals and standards that have been set to be acceptable.
