The ‘Naked Diaries’ Instagram Is The Most Beautiful, Body-Positive Account On The Internet
In one photo, a woman talks about her struggle with self-harm, and her journey to finding love.
The Naked Diaries is an Instagram account started by Taylor Giavasis that celebrates female empowerment and body positivity. Each picture showcases encouragement—quotes, drawings, photographs, and real bodies—and each caption shares a woman’s* struggle of loving herself. From self-harm, to weight issues, to birth defects, this account reveals the pain, fear, and bumpy road to self-acceptance in a way that’s tangible and real.sp
