Exposed

I’ve heard of the Exposed Movement before in passing. I knew what it was.

And I knew that it was something I would never be brave enough to do.

But I’ve changed in the past 18 months or so. I really feel like I’ve grown into my own skin. I’m more confident. I’m stronger. I’m happier.

I’m braver.

So, when I got on Twitter today and realized that people that I love were posting their “one year later” posts, I knew that today was the day.

I got out the camera. I set up the tripod. I took off (most of) my clothes. I took pictures.

So. Here I am. In all my glory.

    Freak Thea this is so cool! You look amazing and your confidence shines through in all the pictures. I have to agree with the whole “growing into your skin thing.” It’s obvious to me as I read your words and look at your pictures you know EXACTLY who you are! Thank your for being a totally badass chick and owning it!
