My Body Belongs to Love
⠀
I’ve had a shift in mindset.
⠀
For years, I believed my body was mine. That it belonged to me — something I had full control over. We say, “My body, my choice.” And those words do matter.
⠀
But now… I see something deeper.
⠀
I don’t think I own my body anymore.
⠀
I think I’m its caretaker. A steward. My body isn’t a possession — it’s a vessel for something much bigger:
⠀
Love.
⠀
When I care for my body now, it’s not about vanity or selfishness. It’s about staying strong for the people who rely on me.
⠀
As a mum, my body has created, carried, and supported life.
⠀
As a business owner — especially as a boudoir photographer — my body is the tool I use to serve others. It lifts, moves, creates, comforts, and welcomes.
⠀
As a partner, my body connects me to love, intimacy, and shared joy.
⠀
As a daughter, my body helps me care for my aging parents.
⠀
My body is how I show up.
For work. For love. For life.
⠀
So no — I don’t think my body is mine anymore.
⠀
My body is owned by Love.
⠀
By the love I give.
The love I receive.
The love that moves through my family, my relationships, my purpose.
⠀
This isn’t about sacrifice — it’s about meaning.
It’s about seeing the body not as something we own, but something we honor.
⠀
A sacred vessel.
A gift.
⠀
❤️My body belongs to Love.

What do you think? Let’s start a conversation.
