Love Letter to My Body by Mariah Leigh Kemsley

I’m sorry I have neglected you all these years, and I may have not given you the love you deserve. Today I can stand before you and say I have found forgiveness. I have been ashamed of you when I shouldn’t of been and I know that you needed to be celebrated. I have learned to unlearn, to smile when I see you in my reflection, to see the sun highlight every blemish now feels a lot different then it used to. I don’t stop smiling now, the warmth you give me is like no other as only You know me better than anyone.


"I will embrace you in all your glory, in your rawest state because if I can not love you I can not love myself."

I promise to treat you with kindness, to love you, care and admire you for the rest of my life. I worship you for your beauty, every roll, stretch mark, cellulite & curve reminds me of a journey we have been on together. Together we gifted life, we made memories with friends & we grew together. I will embrace you in all your glory, in your rawest state because if I can not love you I can not love myself. You are my vessel, my body and I promise no matter how much we change I will keep on loving you.


Advice from Mariah


To all my gods & goddesses who are on their journey of self love I applaud you, keep on fighting against society’s beauty standards. Every single being deserves to find true self love & acceptance, but loving your body is only a small part of finding self love. Loving yourself truly comes from being completely comfortable, raw & open in every aspect of your being. To accept who you are, to be proud of that person & to love that person is when you will finally feel that weight lift from you. To feel free, free from a formal self and to embrace every fibre of your authentic self. Never feel ashamed of expressing yourself, eat that cake and take a sexy snap while doing it. Rule your own world, create your own magic & own that shit. You define you, never let society make you believe your anything other then a masterpiece.
