Im glad my coping skills have improved when I have to deal with this same old same old. I was on a long summer road trip. Brought my sister to the KOA where we were staying. It was a hot day. After, I got this text from my niece. I sent this reply along with the picture of me in my bathing suit.

(Name omitted)..I love you. I send you an invisible amulet you cannot lose just need to remember don't drink the poison. 45 baby 45 look forward to it love yourself now and look forward to what comes next. Rebuke the culture. Respect women. Feminism is the radical idea that women are people
I picked her up in my bathing suit and a beach cover bc we were suppose to go to the pool. She said she would put her feet in. She said she
thought she too fat to be in a bathing suit
When I got her she was in a long dress and full make up no intention of hitting the pool area. I told her she looked grest. I told her not to be ashamed. Women need to love women respect themselves and each other as full people
This is me in my bathing suit. Ready for a day in the sun ready to feel the breeze. Playful content lucky how we deserve to be. Remember love you respect you your body your vehicle the soul that rests inside it. Reject words meant to oppress and degrade women. Render those words powerless. The truth they don't always want you to know bc you are so powerful when you know. They don't realize that they don't need to be afraid of women that know their worth
. Its not a competition baby.
The true beauty is inside you always around you always. Anyway, I like my bathing suit. Lol xoxooxoxoxoxooxoo
