This photo captures my joy; the joy of unlearning core beliefs that held me back from doing so much. I used to refer to myself as someone who did not fit in anywhere, someone who is unattractive and someone who was incapable. Just by hearing someone saying you look pretty, or I enjoyed spending my time with you, I unlearned my core beliefs.
