<\/b><\/p>\nWomen\u2019s day thoughts: I keep thinking about the trip ticket and the things I have decided to write on the Maiden and Mother pieces. I have asked my friends for help and they remembered some of the things people used to tell them or things they used to think about themselves when they were teenagers with changing bodies. I worry if sharing these thoughts can be damaging for me or people close to me my eight year-old daughter, my mother my friend\u2018s daughters but then I remember how was a teenager I used to hide in my thoughts and never share them with anyone and how damaging that was for me. I am now thinking that maybe sharing is a way to fix the feeling of abandonment girls grow up with looking at themselves comparing themselves and thinking they\u2019re all alone with these negative feelings. I believe the more we share and realise we\u2019re not the only ones going through this the bigger the chance for acceptance and repair and feeling less alone and less overwhelmed and abandoned in this society where were being judged on our looks from every angle whether we\u2019re too skinny too fat to sporty or too lazy. We\u2019re never good enough.<\/b><\/p>\n

“An exploration into the shared plight of women battling their self-image, in a perpetually encouraging society pushing such behaviours, in whichever way these actions manifest. In a world where the aesthetics of young girls have been decided as the centre of media and the pedestal for beauty, we must reflect on and acknowledge the impact these ideologies have on young girls themselves and in turn adult women, leading to the invention and implementation of modern technology and ideas that cause harm both physically and mentally to women, continuing the cycle of the epidemic of negative self-image.”<\/p>\n
