A note from the creator:
"In this society, it has become easier to find what we dislike about ourselves rather than acknowledging what we love. Finding self love has been a long road for me, but in the last couple of years, finding it has completely changed me for the better. Spreading empowerment, positivity, and love has been very important to me since being in college, and the I LOVE Project was the best way I could think to do this. It is time to embrace the things that set you apart and become proud of who you are. Hopefully these pictures will help inspire people to remember the amazing and unique things they offer this world.
Each person I worked with brought something different to the table, and each person helped me remember why this project is so important. Thank you for you inspiring me. Thank you for your willingness to be open and honest, and thank you for going on this journey with me. This wouldn't be anything without you and your stories.
