There Should Be No Such Thing As A "Bikini Ready" Body

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful.

With summer rolling around, swimsuits and shorts coming out of the closet and the "get the bikini body" ads coming up all over social media platforms, it can be very overwhelming.

There is always this pressure whenever summer is about to approach. People start shuffling into the gym and squeezing in workouts to get the body that is "beach-ready" and "Instagram" worthy.

Trust me, I get it.

You want to feel confident, and going to the gym can be a part of that process, which is so awesome. Working towards your health with exercising is always beneficial. But I believe that every single body is beach ready and Instagram worthy.

No matter what size, weight, or height you may be, you are beautiful. Show off the cellulite and the stretch marks; it shows that you are a living human being. These are all natural parts of our body that we shouldn't try to hide.

Show off all your curves because you were perfectly made this way. All of the beautiful parts of you make you so unique.

Because honestly, what is a "bikini-ready" body? What we see on TV or on the front of stores? What society is portrayed as the right "bikini-ready" body?

Hell no, women are beautiful in every form. To have society show us that the only way we should be is skinny and toned with a six-pack is not what we should be following.

We should be following the path of feeling good in our own skin, loving ourselves entirely, and showing it all off in any way we want. Do you want to wear a one-piece? Go ahead. You want to wear a bikini? Go ahead.

It is your damn life and your damn body.

How you choose to flaunt it is all up to you but, trust me, you got a body that is worth showing off.

So take a million Instagram pictures and show your body off in any way you want. Just remember to love yourself and know that you are beautiful and perfect the way that you were made.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
