Spilling the Tea #13: Martyna

Hello, my gardeners! You have already met Martyna, and judging by the poll I can see that you liked her as I did. This girl sparked my day and I was happy to chat with her and learn more about her journey. 

Me: Martyna, we now know you as a confident young woman and photo model. It's hard not to admit that you are popular in your field. And you've shared with me before that it wasn't always like this. What was the turning point in your life that made you start working on yourself?

Marti: I vividly remember the moment when I realized that my low self-esteem was preventing me from enjoying life. It felt like a heavy blanket had been thrown over me. I was afraid of people and relationships, and constantly comparing myself to others was slowly eroding my personality. It was then that I knew I had to start working on myself.

Me: What were some of the biggest challenges you faced in your journey to self-love?

Marti: The first steps were undoubtedly the most challenging. I found it hard to believe that the nice words people said about me were true. I would always find a "but" in response to compliments. However, one day my friend complimented me on my makeup, and out of habit, I started my response with a "but". She interrupted me by saying "shut the fuck up and just say thank you". Hahaha I know it was kinda rude, but I saw how my silly habit pissed her off. It felt like a lightning bolt had hit me. Something in me shifted, and I consciously tried to respond with gratitude. It became a habit, and eventually, this ritual helped me to accept compliments and love myself more.

Me: What were some of the external changes you made that helped you feel more beautiful and sensual?

Marti: Oh, well it's something I think everybody can notice now haha. I've always been on the search for my personal style, and tattoos have become one of my ways to express myself. Each tattoo symbolizes a part of my personality, and I feel fulfilled whenever I look at them. It's like each piece of art on my skin is a chapter of my life story, and I love it.

At that moment, my eyes lit up with a question, and Martyna already knew what I wanted to ask. 

Marti: Oh It's a very long story, Ksenia! Hahaha but the next time we meet I'd love to tell you about those snakes on my back!

Me: Hahaha got you! Then I have a last question. Tell me, how has your journey to self-love and acceptance impacted your relationships and overall quality of life? 

Marti: I'm now attracting a different kind of man. You know, it's often said that you have to love yourself first before you can have a decent relationship. It's true. As I began to treat myself better, other people started to take notice and treat me the same way. It's amazing how much more fulfilling my relationships have become since I started my journey to self-love. It's like I'm living life in full color now, and it's fantastic.
