By embracing social nudity, you declare independence from the fashion-industrial complex. You stop saying "I hate my thighs" and start saying "My thighs carried me into the ocean today."
You will never look in the mirror and see a "Photoshopped" version of yourself. But if you walk the path of body positivity through naturism, you will eventually look in the mirror and see something far better: a real human being, standing comfortably in their own skin, utterly free.
