Significado
To have self-acceptance.
Contexto cultural
In Finland, 'olla sujut' is often linked to the concept of 'rehellisyys' (honesty). Being honest about one's flaws is the first step to being 'sujut'. The 'Law of Jante' (don't think you are special) makes 'olla sujut' a safe way to express self-worth without sounding arrogant. The phrase has seen a resurgence in Finnish social media as a translation for 'body positivity' and 'self-love' movements.
Use 'päästä' for the journey
Instead of just 'olla' (to be), use 'päästä' (to reach/get) to show you worked hard for that self-acceptance.
Don't forget the suffix
Saying 'sujut itse kanssa' sounds very broken. Always add -ni, -si, or -nsä.
