Top Comments of this video!! :3
Thanks for sharing this, I love your work. The lyrics of your songs are really great at conveying relatable messages/stories, and I've been able to find some comfort in many of your songs.
Personally I don't think I'll ever be able to love my body, although I might be able to accept it one day. I struggle with gender dysphoria and I don't really have an ideal body- I don't really want to have a physical form, I'd rather be a cloud of darkness that's still capable of drawing/singing/speaking/writing. Unfortunately for me, that would be impossible. I still have a long way to go until I'm able to accept having a body- heck, I haven't even found a place to start- but maybe one day, I'll be able to.
This probably doesn't really make sense, but oh well, it's the best I can do to explain right now.
ETA: Even if I don't love myself for my body, maybe I could love myself for my talents/positive personality traits instead.

I was skinny as heck until I was 24, then i started gaining weight like crazy. I've been through the medical routes to "hopefully" find some reason why i can't lose weight. But they found nothing wrong, so I am just the way I am. I honestly don't know how to dress anymore because the way i used to doesn't suit this new frame of mine. So I know what you feel to an extent, I want everyone to be happy with who they are and the shape they are, but for myself, I constantly want to be better, I feel guilt if i eat certain foods so i avoid them. It's a rough thing to go through but yeah...I wish everyone nothing but happiness and to feel content with themselves. ^^;

We are definitely our own worst critics. I even have issues with myself, but I'm trying to stop putting myself down. It's not easy when I'm having a bad day. But I try to remember there are so many different ideas of beauty. Stuff that seems crazy to one person would be beauty to another person. The idea of beauty is constantly changing and it's different depending on where you live. There are people who think crooked teeth is cute, or having gauges all over there face and body is beautiful. (among other beauty trends). I've stumbled across so many things like this and it's intriguing. Because it's so different from what everyone around me deems beauty as. It's like they say; "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
I use to hate my crooked teeth. But now I don't.
Still not comfortable about my body. But baby steps. I'm working on losing some weight. I want to slim my thighs, flatten my stomach and shrink my love handles.
I personally think you are really pretty, just like a lot of others do. And you are strong to be able to put yourself out there to the public. Just remember, "You are stronger than your demons". This is something I am always telling myself. I said it to myself a lot when I was trying to get through some dark times. Sometimes you have to be your own hero....or your own beacon of light.

I feel you
I just turned 40 and struggle with depression and thyroid issues and I lost my self esteem in my 20's after gaining lots of weight and have struggled with it since.. my family puts alot of pressure on me to look and dress a certain way.. size 2 is alot better than a size 16 and I disgust them 😤 😒

Thank you for sharing. I related to pretty much everything you mentioned in this in this video. I’ve been super curvy ever since I was around 11, and it’s made it really hard for me to love my body. I was constantly getting told how I was just so gifted in my body type, but I don’t feel like that. It makes me feel awkward, especially with the unwanted attention I always got. I used to be way skinnier as a young teen, but I’m not so much anymore, I know I’m not over weight, but sometimes I look in the mirror and I feel like I am. I also have a very round face with no angles whatsoever, and it’s something I definitely struggle with being ok with. I still hate being on camera, taking selfies, being in a video, etc. because I just never feel pretty enough for it. And it’s so frustrating because I want to be able to do those things, but it’s so hard to not tear myself apart everytime I make the attempt. I really appreciate you being so transparent with this; it made me feel not so alone. I hope one day we’ll all be comfortable in our own skins. You are so beautiful and so loved ❤️

I am thankful, that you shared this with us.
I believe that the path to loving your body is one, that everyone has to go through. Some people have that path short, but some of us might never get to the end. It's the media and other people that makes us thing, we are wrong somehow, but it's actually not that.
Beth, you are already amazing and beatiful and kind and talented. We are all here with you on this journey, but this is something you'll have to accept on your own and I truly hope that one day you will.
You are not alone in this, just like you said it yourself.
☀️ a bit of sunshine to end my comment here 😄

Thanks for sharing. Proud of you, being authentic and honest in this world where people fake so much just to make it look as if all is perfect, - when life actually isn't at all, all the time.
Yet - being authentic and honest BUT not giving up, and working through it.
A real strong Lady!
Keep going, you are most precious, beautiful and you are loved!!!

Hey Beth, I don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say that I love your music. My ex introduced me to you and "Always" was our song. We were together for 3 months. She got pregnant and we decided not to keep the baby. It was not an easy decision for me or her but we weren't ready with it being so early on in the relationship. Two weeks after this she broke up with me. I was devastated. She said it was her, not me. I had been struggling with mental health issues and our relationship masked all of it, and when she broke up with me it was too much to bear and I attempted suicide. She wasn't the same after the breakup and turned cold and distant. I still listen to "Always" every so often and it makes me cry every time. I think of all the times we made love and the good times we shared. In the end, she wasn't the right one for me because our communication styles were so different and she was also emotionally closed off and I wasn't. Anyways, thanks for listening and thank you for the amazing music!
