On April 26th, 2020 I turned 30 years old. Just like everyone else, I figured my 30th year alive would be a big year and I was hoping for big things. Thankfully, I wasn’t wrong but not in a way I expected.
Due to the COVID 19 lockdowns, I spent my birthday in lockdown with no one to celebrate with me in person besides my partner and our furbabies. At first, I was extremely saddened by this but it turns out the most at peace you are with yourself and your life the less you need to celebrate bit events.
Instead of doing a large party in Melbourne (as planned), we celebrated at home with a simple day surrounded by taking a walk to the beach, making a three-course meal together, playing board games, and finishing off the day with a relaxing bath. From that day forward I because to appreciate the little things more and more and this has resulted in me learning so many things about myself, life, and the direction I want to take in the future.
You might be wondering…why am I telling you this?
Well, that is a great question!
Pear Collections is a clothing brand, not a personal blog for me to talk about myself right? Well yes and no I guess. I created Pear Collections in hopes of changing the experience and mindset fellow pear-shaped women have around shopping and loving their bodies. An aspect of that is mindset. And this is why I’m sharing all of this with you.
For years I have personally struggled with so many feelings of extreme low self-worth, self-value, self-love, and self-esteem that it resulted in a 20-year-old who didn’t want to be touched, celebrated, or even looked at too much. Sadly, I know a lot of you, no matter your age, have felt the same at least once in your life. So, not only is it my mission to help you love your curves but it is also my mission to help you love yourself as well!
This is why I am sharing this story with you.
It has taken me 30 years to learn these lessons but I hope they help you in your journey to also learning to love yourself, your curves, and know your worth as an individual.
