echoraum:

Bloom, 2017, Prague

(Growing up, I always hated the way my labia minora looked like. It was too dark, too big and I hated the way you could see them through tight pants. It also was the reason why I did not have sex a few years ago – because I was ashamed of how it looked. It was awful. I used to cry about it, used to be mad at myself for caring so much about a piece of flesh.

I struggled with it a LOT and tbh I still do. But I’m working on it. Of course I should love every single inch of my body because I know that every single inch of it deserves love. But do you know how much it hurts to hear someone telling you that “you have a ugly vagina”? Yes, I was young.
Yes, that guy was immature and young, too.
Yes, he has been affected by the “porn pussy”.
And maybe, yes, you too might think it’s ugly
But the truth is – that sentence ruined my young mind and it took me years to get over it.

And it’s funny because right now I’m looking at this picture and I’m like ~~ w o w
This is my body it’s beautiful the way it is~~
So yeah, taking pictures definitely helped me. I hope it helps you a little bit too 🙂

I also would like to thank all the women on tumblr for showing me that beauty comes in all shapes. Thank you so much. You remind me of how beautiful all bodies are.)
