Люби эти черточки

Цель проекта #LoveY­ourLines — показать красоту женского тела. Аккаунт в инстаграме ведут две мамы, выступающие за более широкое понимание женской красоты. Они призывают женщин с самой разной внешностью присылать фотографии своего тела с растяжками. Обычно растяжки появляются на теле женщины во время беременности, но не только — иногда это происходит при резком изменении веса. «Несовершенство делает нас совершенными», — гласит подпись под одним из снимков. 

Редакция Бигпикчи солидаризируется с владелицами аккаунта и предлагает посмотреть фотографии. Они действительно заслуживают вашего внимания.

Imper­fec­tions are what makes us per­fect. Eas­i­ly said, hard­er to ful­ly embrace…true nonetheless.

«Thanks to the two won­der­ful women who cre­at­ed this page, I’ve learned to love and accept my stripes, I’ve now become more con­fi­dent in show­ing off my body and feel much com­fort­able in my own skin. I DO LOVE MY LINES.» @ariannekmx

«My first lines appeared when I was 12. I grew 10 inch­es in 6 months. Puber­ty arrived and I put on weight. More lines were born on my sides, thighs, butt, back of my legs. I was always a tomboy and nev­er liked rub­bing lotion on my skin, felt icky. Took me about 10 years to get used to my lines and accept them. I am a beau­ti­ful woman with beau­ti­ful lines and I still think that lotion still feels icky.» sub­mit­ted by @yonosoymarinero

«I came across your page & came to tears read­ing sto­ry after sto­ry relat­ing with many. Who knew I was­n’t the only «skin­ny» 20 some­thing deal­ing with these lines. I’m a soon to be 21 year old who is con­fi­dent in her clothes & style. I’m the gal that always spread the words of lov­ing one­self & own­ing your con­fi­dence in your beau­ti­ful god giv­en skin. When all said I’m also the gal that comes home undress­es and cries because these lines won’t leave me. I’m 110 lbs, I’ve always been thin but since I was in high­school I notice these lines how they got here I’ll nev­er know but I’m learn­ing every­day to own them. Do they scare me for the future when I decide to be fruit­ful and mul­ti­ply yes, but as I read all these sto­ries these lines inter­pret as Beau­ty Marks, screw them. We are beau­ti­ful women with beau­ti­ful skin, whether they tell a sto­ry or are just sim­ply due to growth let’s own them. We are all beau­ti­ful­ly marked.»

«2 preg­nan­cies lat­er, and I set about sculpt­ing a body I love more than ever. These lines aren’t going any­where. They are my moti­va­tion to be the best me and not be ashamed of my body.»

«Though I am not a moth­er, I’ve always had stretch marks. Need­less to say, I’ve always been self con­scious of my stretchies. I am approach­ing the quar­ter of a cen­tu­ry mark in exact­ly 1 week. Grow­ing into wom­an­hood has taught me to love every lit­tle thing about me includ­ing my «love lines». I know God did­n’t make any mis­takes on me; He gave me beau­ty for ash­es.» Beau­ti­ful­ly amaz­ing! Thank you for shar­ing. #lovey­ourlines

«I’m 22 and I have had my stretch marks since the age of 12. I thought my lines came from being over­weight but being a size 2 I know stretch marks do not dis­crim­i­nate when it comes to weight or size. I love my lines, I flaunt them at the beach or pool side with friends.» Sub­mis­sion from: @monstermo

«I’m a 24 year old mom from Bel­gium. I became preg­nant in Jan­u­ary 2012, my ulti­mate dream came true. Back then I was so afraid of get­ting stretch­marks that I start­ed buy­ing all kinds of prod­uct to avoid them. It took 8 months for them to appear any­way. At fist I was so sad about it, at age 22 I could nev­er wear a biki­ni ever again. But after I gave birth, some­thing changed. Some­where along the way I gained a lot of con­fi­dence. I embraced my „new“ body, includ­ing my lines. They resem­ble the life I car­ried, they resem­ble that my body gave its best so that I could become the mom­my of a healthy per­fect lit­tle girl. And no mat­ter what oth­er peo­ple may say or think, to my daugh­ter I am the most beau­ti­ful mom of the world, or so she says.»

«I’m a 36 year old sin­gle moth­er of a sev­en year old boy. Four years ago I lost 100lbs and splurged on an abdom­i­nal plas­ty as a New Years gift to myself. Best thing I ever did.»

This 31 year young woman has learned to not care so much about her tiger stripes although it was­n’t easy. They are apart of who she is. She had them even before hav­ing babies. Mom of 2. #lovey­ourlines

«i am 18 years old and I have a beau­ti­ful son who was born about 3 months ago. Ive been con­fi­dent in my body even when i was preg­nant how­ev­er, it did take a great deal of unfor­tu­nate events to get me to this con­fi­dence. I wont go into details but, i do want to say that every women big or small scared or smooth is beau­ti­ful in their own way. I love to encour­age any­body and every­body to be hap­py in their skin because God does­nt make mistakes.»

„I am a 28 yr old mom of three. I learned only one year ago that I have celi­ac dis­ease which explained the inabil­i­ty to pro­duce enough breast milk and my preterm babies. I gained over 60lbs with my first preg­nan­cy and nev­er real­ly lost the weight but I have learned to love my lines one day at a time. In this pic­ture is my now 2 year old son he thinks my bel­ly but­ton is the fun­ni­est thing.“

«Just want to say to oth­er women: be hap­py with your­self! A wom­en’s body is so beau­ti­ful in every sin­gle way. My body was once a home for my lit­tle girl and these «scars» will always remind me of the most spe­cial peri­od of my life.»

«Hi. I was one of the 1^st ppl to sub­mit a pic­ture when the account first start­ed of my preg­nant twin bel­ly so it only seemed nat­ur­al to sub­mit a new pho­to of my new lines and young princes. I’m now 5 days post­par­tum. I had to have an emerge­ny csec­tion after 24 hrs of labor. So after every­thing heals up and goes back down I guess you will get anoth­er sub­mis­sion of that cool line too lol. Sur­pris­ing­ly I’m not down about my new tiger stripes or my new inci­sion scar. Who can be ashamed of things like that when its all a prod­uct of bring­ing two new lives into this world. I wear all my lines proudly!»
