So,I know it's been a long time since I last posted on here but I've been really busy. We had testing in school and then Great America Day at my school...that was AWESOME!!!!! Then we had graduation...I graduated with flying colors and a 4.00 GPA all year. Today I went to a park with my best friend and a section of it had water shooters and geysers to run in. We both wore our bathing suits and,despite our good intentions of just getting our feet wet, got soaked. The bathing suits is what this post is about. I just got a new bathing suit ( a tankini) but because of the back (it has the whole back instead of just a clasp) it highlighted my stomach (I have a little bit of a belly) and made me feel self conscious and uncomfortable. I want to talk about how you feel in different kinds of bathing suits. Do you ever feel afraid people will laugh at you if you wear that bikini you really like? Do you think people will make fun of you if your belly shows over your swimsuit bottoms? I am. I think people will laugh at me...but that's not what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of what people say behind my back...I can deal with what people say to me but I can't deal with not knowing what they're saying. What I want to say is...even if I'm afraid of it....you shouldn't be. Love yourself the way you are...in a bathing suit or a dress or a tank top. Love the real YOU! Not what people say you should be or what you're acting like. Don't act. You're wonderful all on your own. So buy that adorable and totally you bikini and if anyone laughs or is mean...IGNORE THEM. If they're mean enough to say something...they're not worth your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 That's all I wanted to say. Thanks for listening....(YES! I know I'm talking to myself)
