Last year for my birthday I even commissioned an oil portrait of my nose, which an artist friend - Nicholas Baldion - did for me. It’s now hanging in my flat, and inspired a total stranger - an artist called Richard Phipps - to also do a portrait of my side profile. He gifted it to me, and it’s now also in pride of place in my home.
All of this means that I no longer hide my self-love; I celebrate it. It’s literally all over my home - and my Instagram. Instead of shying away from highlighting my big nose, I now have dozens of photos of it on my social media, and even my dating profiles. It’s something I never would have done before I started my self-love journey, but now, it just feels right. Why would I want to date someone who doesn’t love my nose?It’s completely changed the way I date, and now I’m so much more confident.
The truth is that now I finally find myself beautiful, I’m so much freer, and I can actually enjoy dating rather than living in constant fear that they’ll think I’m not good enough. I don’t need a man to validate me - I just want someone who’s going to add to my life. And if someone doesn’t like my nose, or the fact I’m so vocal about self-love, then I have no qualms in saying goodbye.
When the guy I was dating recently made that comment about the amount of art I have of myself in my home, I was able to reply without any insecurity or awkwardness, because I felt comfortable in myself and the way that I felt. "Yes, I do," I told him. "I guess I just like the way I look. And by like, I mean love." His response? "I like the way you look too."
