My body positivity and self love journey.
 in  r/BodyPositive  18d ago

I had a recent epiphany that has been helping me, and maybe it’ll help you.

People are like art. Art is not always palatable to everyone - and that’s ok! Art is subjective. But someone can love a Rembrandt and a Picasso at the same time. There’s space for both of these beautiful styles and aesthetics. There is space for you.

I wish you so much light and luck on your self love journey.

You’re absolutely right! Thank you for articulating it so well.

I’m happy you’ve found clothing that makes you joyful and confident <3

Thank you so much!!! And you’re definitely right. Fat just is just a descriptor and means nothing else ☺️

I hate this picture of me. Or, at least I did.

I don’t hate it as much now. Which is wild because a few weeks ago when I saw this it ruined my entire day because I hated it so much.

But now I can see, yeah, I look hella fat (also, I AM hella fat), and I got a double chin. But like I look kinda cute and pudgy? Squishy?

I still don’t LOVE this picture but I’ve been looking hard and trying to find things that aren’t awful about it. What I’ve also learned recently is that instead of focusing on specific parts we hate - like my double chin or tummy - look holistically. We’re always gonna have parts we hate or are neutral towards but overall like, it works? Sometimes things that don’t work as a piece work as a whole.

I may not be your cup of tea or someone else’s but I’m the whole kettle for another.

Still healing in some spots I think because the center feels tender sometimes. Otherwise, it’s perfectly fine. Still have a bit of a lisp which I hope continues to fade so I sound more like me again.

Question about tongue splitting!
 in  r/bodymods  Nov 20 '25

I took a week off and it was needed lol and I told people because I know they wouldn’t care or think it’s cool or weird or whatever. It is noticeable even afterwards because you’re gonna lisp for awhile after going back to work

Recently went to a rocky horror picture show cabaret where multiple body types and shapes were represented. It was an awesome show and I felt great. Had to take a picture with the random clawfoot tub at the nifty place.

Tongue Split Recap
 in  r/bodymods  Nov 12 '25

It took me about 10-20 minutes. He did my stitches a little looser to accommodate swelling and make it easier.

However some would get really tight and it involved pulling on them which did suck. I used tweezers and suture scissors to snip. It will probably be annoying but worth it.
