OVer the course of our lives it is normal to feel the need to change and improve, especially at some very specific times of life. With the arrival of adolescence, for example, not everyone is able to feel comfortable with their body: those who have a few extra pounds, those who fight daily with acne, those who are forced to wear braces, etc... For some it is more difficult to overcome certain phases, but what matters is the will and determination with which you intend to overcome them. In the most difficult moments, those when motivation is scarce, you have to remind yourself that it is never too late to improve. The path to well-being is certainly long and we must not be discouraged by the negative comments of those around us and want to damage our self-esteem. The people in these photos definitely know something!

When you are a child, you shouldn't really judge your appearance or be too hard on yourself. The real change comes with the age of adolescence and, from there on, the journey can be more strenuous for some and less for others. The important thing is always to arrive at a place in which you are fully satisfied with who you have become!
