I want to take this opportunity to raise attention to an issue I've seen occurring the more I post photos wearing less clothing. I get body-bashed on the daily--my butt is "too flat", my arms are "too thin", I'm "too short", and most of all, I'm just "way too skinny". I am here to say that we can dress however we want. We can show whatever we want. We shouldn't have to be fearful of putting ourselves out there because of what mean things people might say. Body shaming is the absolute worst and nobody should make you feel like you're worth less just because of the way you look--whether you have body issues or not (and, as a PSA, telling someone with body issues how "ugly" they are is basically the worst thing you can do--just don't do it!). We are born the way we are, we (healthily) change what we want to change, and if you don't want to change or work out, that's cool too. And it is nobody else's business. I love you for you in every which way...I hope you love you for you too. :)
