Expressing your own aesthetics is healthy because it demonstrates self-respect, self-expression, and self-confidence. Feeling comfortable and emphasizing your personal aesthetics promotes self-confidence and well-being. It can also contribute to developing a positive self-image and self-acceptance, which in turn can improve mental well-being.
Furthermore, expressing your aesthetics on social media can be a way to connect with like-minded individuals, unleash your creativity, and showcase your personality. It can be a means of self-realization and expressing your individuality, which is important for a healthy self-concept.
In some pictures I show myself unclothed or highlight areas of bare skin. There are prejudices about this for a variety of reasons. Showing skin is not an expression of sexual availability for either men or women. There is no other information about personality either. For me, finding your own body aesthetically is the most normal thing in the world.
It's important that people have the freedom to celebrate their own bodies and aesthetics in their own way, without feeling restricted by prejudices or societal norms.

Today I sent another cheek swab to the DKMS ( German Bone Marrow Donor File, @dkms_de ).🤗 I was asked to do because they need to know if I was infected with the cytomegalovirus. This is a herpes virus, harmless to healthy people, but quite dangerous for weakened people, such as leukemia patients. I registered as a stem cell donor 14 years ago. At that time, it already worked very simply with cheek swabs. You could easily order a set at home. The tissue characteristics are stored in a database and compared with patients who are waiting for a transplant. So far there hasn't been a sufficient match, so I haven't yet been asked to donate cells. If someone needs my help, I'm there!🙃✌ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ (You aren't a bad person just because you don't! Tissue characteristics are sensitive data. I just want to raise awareness.)
That's me after my Jugendweihe 20 years ago. The Jugendweihe (Youth consecration) is a secular coming of age ceremony practised by German 14-year-olds, mainly known in East Germany. In 2000 there where almost 100,000 participants nationwide, 10 years later there where only around 25,000 participants. However, this has less to do with popularity. After the reunification of Germany, many moved from the east to the west. There's even evidence that the popularity of the Jugendweihe increases again. I liked it because I got money and thenceforth was allowed to stay up 2 hours longer. I lived in a children's home with very strict rules and my new privilege became a real blessing, especially because I could finally watch the really interesting movies. 🙃
Defenseless exposed, dreaming an illusion of strength and contentment. Aspiring to heaven, but neither god nor angel. Just a simple human. A fetus in the womb of eternity. I rest in shade. Comforting? How could I dream if the light awakens me?
