Appreciate Your Body In Every Season

Your summer body is not the only body that matters.

Appreciate Your Body In Every Season

It is already hard enough seeing others who may have the perfect body that you want, but it is entirely okay if you are not there yet. Everyone's journey to their "perfect" body type is different. We all have a range of shapes, and sizes.

There is some trend that refers to having a "summer body," and people make it seem as though it is necessary and you HAVE to have a specific body for the summer. No, this is incorrect. Anybody that you are comfortable in IS your summer body. Do not let others perceptions influence you on how you should look. If you have a few rolls here and there embrace it if you have no butt or small boobs welcome it. This goes for the men as well. I cannot speak on many of the body insecurities you may have but know that my message is still for you.

You need to be able to love yourself in every form no matter what the season is. When it is cold outside, and you have sweats and a hoodie on embracing it, when it is hot, and you have on shorts and a tank to embrace it. YOU are what make the clothes that you have on.

It is so easy to suck yourself into a depressive state because your body is not where you want it to be. The only person that can change that is you, but you have to love your body now before any changes as well as after you make some differences in your appearance. As my last article stated, you will never be happy trying to live up to others standards if you can't even reach your own. The change starts with you so start NOW.

It is quite sad how we let others opinions/society have such a big impact on our lives. It's time we finally break this chain.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
