"The more I've been healing and working through blocks to open my heart, this was the next step for me.

An actual, physical barrier between receiving love through my heart."She later added: "Having my nipple piercings came from a place of having pain in that area being confused for pleasure.

"I even remember when being intimate with a lover, I used to ask them to avoid my breast area in fear of being hurt so they mustn’t get too close/too deep."What a metaphor.

My heart was literally broken enough but now they’re out and my heart feels free."In her post, Alexandra also hit out at Instagram for its nipple censorship rules while flans flocked to share their admiration for the former reality star.One wrote: "This is EVERYTHING," while another commented: "So empowering."A third said: "Beautiful lady.
