" I did n’t give myself the opportunity to eff who I really was . "
Courtney Stoddenis embracing a new and natural look.
For reference, here’s how Courtney — who uses she/them pronouns — looked in January of last year…
And here’s how she looks now, in a newIG postwhere they revealed that they recently got their lip fillers dissolved completely.
“I started getting lip filler at 17,” she wrote in the caption. “Back then, I truly believed I had to change myself to be accepted—even by me. I didn’t give myself the chance to love who I really was. I was chasing perfection, running from insecurity, and hiding behind enhancements.”
“But recently, I made a decision that felt radical: I completely dissolved my lips!!! 👄 they feel small, but real! Aaaand I absolutely love them this way 👀💋🙌”
“And just now, for the first time, I’m beginning to learn that I am enough,” she continued. “This isn’t about rejecting beauty—it’s about redefining it on my own terms. I’ve learned that real confidence isn’t in what we add, but in what we choose to embrace.”
“To anyone who feels like they need to change to be enough: you don’t. You already are.”
