Woo summer is nearly here! For many of you, this includes long summer days spent at the beach, going on holiday or just hanging out with your mates.

Some of you may think that to be able to hang around at the beach or at the pool in a bikini, you need to be skinny. Some people are already trying to diet in order to get the body they desire. You do not have to be skinny to wear a bikini.

You can be any size you want. Don't let other people stop you from wearing what you want to wear or make you diet. If you want to change the way you look because you don't like the way you look, that is okay. What is not okay, is changing the way you look because somebody else wants you to change.

People do not need to fit a certain criteria, you can be whoever you want to be. Society today makes us feel bad if we have spots, don't have a thigh gap, wear certain clothes etc. People seem to have lost the idea that people can be whoever they want to be, look like whatever they want to look like, wear whatever they want to wear.

So if you are in two minds whether to buy that crop top that shows your belly button because you don't want to be called a slut, just go for it. You can always take it back. But please, don't put it down because you are worried about what people are going to say. Who know... buying that top might be the best thing you do.

You are perfect the way you are, and you will be perfect with whatever you do with your body. Nobody else's opinions matter, the only opinion that matters is your own.

Lots of Love
