I Love Myself, Do You?

Be confident and rock a crop top

I Love Myself, Do You?
Lindex

I follow tons of body positive blogs. I love to see the articles on Facebook and the pictures on Instagram. My problem with these blogs is that I have an obsession with reading comments on these posts. I guess I like to be angry and argue with faceless people on my phone.

Whenever I watch a video of a girl being happy with her body enough to wear a crop top, I see a comment that says that she's glorifying obesity or that she has no self-respect. Some keyboard bully will go off on how it is unattractive to be "fat" and wear a crop top. Then someone who is defensive of the post will attack a commenter's appearance.

I want an explanation as to when how someone represents themselves is anyone else's business. If my curvy self wants to wear a crop top and my chubby belly is gonna show, then that is my choice. I respect myself enough to love how I look no matter what anyone says. My confidence does not affect your life. I will be in sweats if I want and I will dress up if I want.

Every time I see a negative comment that degrades I have a rant that I'd like to share. For those of you that want to hate on others: stay in your lane. The girl that walks with her head held high, does not need your negativity bringing her down. Cudos to you for being confident in yourself, but just because someone has a different body type then you or a different style, that does not mean they should not have confidence. Just like you love yourself, let others love themselves.

For those that want to be confident in their every day: Rock the crop tops and the shorts

if you want or don't. Wear the bikini or the one piece. Wear makeup or don't. Rock natural hair or straighten it. Wear what you are comfortable in and love yourself. Screw others and their opinions. Your body is your choice. Love yourself no matter what. Screw what everyone else thinks and be happy with your choices. Wear what you want and be who you want.


I just want to see someone be confident and not be torn down. I want to know that loving yourself does not make you a target. Why can't we just let people be happy with themselves? Just let them wear whatever the hell they want without judgment. Keep your opinions to yourself and focus on how you feel about what you wear. Do not project your insecurities onto others, when you are jealous of their ability to walk around without fear of being judged by others. No one deserves to be treated like crap because they wore an outfit that made them smile when they looked in the mirror.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
