Description For the Love Yourself Campaign .

I was pleased with the lighting in this shot. The buttons say "Beauty Comes In All Sizes," "Love is Radical," and "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

March 10 is the last day of International Women's Week (which, contrary to the title, is celebrated in Canada).

About the project:
"The media has been setting this unrealistic standard of how women "should" look and it is sickening and it needs to STOP. Airbrushing and photoshop does wonders. People are shallow, but this should in no way prevent you from living your life and being happy with yourself.

We all have something about ourselves that we don't like, this photo is saying that whether you are thin, curvy, busty, flat, full of acne, etc...we are all human and we should love ourselves for who we are."

I hear you, girl. It's hard and it sucks and it's more than pretty bad. And maybe I'll be the first person to tell you to love yourself, but that doesn't mean I'm the only one. Find people who can support you and love you the way you are. They exist, I promise.

And if even one person tells you to stop hating yourself, it's no longer everybody telling you to hate yourself.

Yeah, it's awful. It's like the whole world plans on making me feel bad all at once. I mean right now I feel so depressed it's not even funny. I've never felt this depressed.

depression is never funny. You should talk to someone about it, seriously -- a friend or a family member -- and see if you can get in to see a counselor. I went through a rough time last year and counseling helped me SO much. It's really, really important that you let someone know how you're feeling. You may have a chemical imbalance, too, so talking to someone who knows their shit and can write prescriptions can help get you balanced out and feeling better.

I mean I know why I'm depressed though. It isn't a funny thing, but I don't want some doctor to put me on anti-depressants just because I auctually feel human emotions for the first time in my life
