Dove hired a forensic artist to draw how women see themselves versus how others see them - the results are moving.

Love thyself

I had a strange, very strong reaction to this, because if it were left up to me, who knows how I would describe myself. Real tears. This was a powerful reminder coming from, for me, an unexpected source.

All of the feels.

Fucking Dove  *cries*  

Seriously though, I can completely relate to this, especially as a cosplayer.  The point is to look like the character, but 9 times out of 10 I won’t for a variety of reasons: skin color, weight, ect.  So I get worried about posting pictures sometimes.  Even if it is a character that I have the “right” features for (Princess Tiana) it’s like, “God but there’s so many pretty, skinny cosplayers who do her so well!”  Thank GOODNESS for places like tumblr, with fat positive/race positive cosplay groups, and awesome followers  :)  

The new hair is also, randomly, making me more confident too  ^^
