# The Self Set ## Posts - [You Are A Work-In-Progress, And That's Okay](https://theselfset.com/work-in-progress/): It’s been said that it took Leonardo da Vinci four years to finish painting the Mona Lisa. Four years spent adding details and texture, improving upon his work each day. Four years struggling to make a blank canvas into a work of art. Four years until his portrait was good enough. I have found myself fall victim to the idea that I’m “not good enough.” I’ve let myself become burdened by my insecurities and have disappointed myself for not being the person I thought I would be by now. I thought I would have everything figured out by the time… Read More »Portfolio - [How to Un-Hate Your Body](https://theselfset.com/how-to-un-hate-your-body/): Okay, so “un-hate” isn’t technically a word. But for the purposes of this post, “un-hate” will have to do because “love” is a little bit too strong of a word for people like us who have been taught for years that our bodies are not perfect as they are. The problem with sentiments like “be your own kind of beautiful” and “love your body” is that they trivialize the issue of body-image.

It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971,… Read More »Portfolio [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
