Hello my lovelies,
I can't believe it is already the end of August.
It seems like just yesterday we were scrambling to prepare for Spring break,
and now summer is starting to slip away.
It is truly incredible how quickly time flies.
Summer may be ending for you, but here in the South,
it's still hotter than hell, and not seeming to ease up any.
This gives all of us a bit more time to go to the beach, lake, or pool.
This still gives you a chance to do it. I'm talking to you.
Pull the tags off, and put it on. If I did it, you can too.
Three weeks ago, I wore my absolute favorite two piece bathing suit to my pool.
I have two of them, one is a bit more covering,
has a fringe-like top that covers my stomach,
and the bottom is super high waisted.
The other, the butterfly bikini, is tighter, and covers much less.
This was my destination piece.
If you would have asked me two years ago to even consider trying this on,
I would have laughed at you.
But I bought it. And after four months of owning it, and staring at it,
I finally told myself that I could do it. And I did.
And you know what happened?
I was really fucking scared at first.
I was so convinced even
walking out of my apartment that I would be mocked.
I was so anxious, I almost felt sick.
But then, I jumped in.
I swam. I laughed, and I never felt better about my body.
There are walls and barriers that we build in order to protect ourselves.
Normally, these walls are from others, but sometimes,
the walls harbor you from yourself.
I hope you jump in.
I hope you splash, and laugh, and dive into the water,
and come up free of worry.
Leave your self conscious thoughts and fears at the bottom of the ocean,
never to be heard from again.
Listen to me, please.
If you feel like you can't wear it, you can.
You absolutely fucking can, and you will look like a goddess.
because you're afraid of the opinions of others.
Why?
It's too damn hot.
And so are you.
All of my love,
K,
Aka ( the girl in the butterfly bikini.)
