HONEST POST- THIS IS ME
A few years ago, I was different. I looked pretty much the same, but I was low. I wasnāt rock bottom by any means, but I was down. I didnāt realise it at the time, and I donāt know if anyone else would have realised either.
I constantly relied on others to validate me; I was flitting from one date to the next in order to feel justified, to feel pretty, to feel desired, to feel good. I know others reading this right now can resonate with this; the positive feelings when you have the attention, but they quickly disappear when the phone isnāt buzzing with messages ⦠the lows are hard, especially with online dating.
I spent a lot of my time out of the house - I worked overtime constantly and spent the rest of my time at my local pub. I often wouldnāt even drink - I just craved the buzz of conversation to keep my mind ticking over.
I was surrounded by good friends, loving family, but also found my circle poisoned by negative people, whoād often drag me down into their low energy.
Fast forward - THIS is the Jess that was lying beneath. Iāve made so many changes in my life - and my perspective has completely changed. I look back at pictures and even notice the change in my smile.
I love life. I am seizing my best years. My best body. My best moments. Iām grabbing opportunities and stepping OUT of my comfort zone.
If youād have told Jess 3 years ago to do a photo shoot like this, sheād refuse. This was me last week, loving every moment of showing off my skills.
Thank you for getting such great shots. Thank you for always making me feel like a queen.
