hey since it’s warm-weather-clothing season again, this is just your reminder that your scars, stretch marks, cellulite, and skin discoloration look perfectly fine and definitely don’t mean you can’t wear shorts or swimsuits

these things make your skin unique, give it definition, and are beautiful. scars from surgery, self harm, or accidents are just a symbol of the things you’ve lived through and been strong enough to survive. cellulite and fat in general are totally natural and necessary. skin discoloration is natural and makes your skin unique.

even if it’s hard to feel confident because of these things, just remember that no one has the right to tell you what you can and can’t wear because of them. it’s hot out. be comfortable, stay cool, and love yourself.
