Thank you for eating that cake and feeling good about it.

Thank you for not wearing makeup.
 Thank you for liking yourself.

Thank you for showing your scars.

Thank you for dancing, and singing in public.

Thank you for flaunting your beautiful pale(fair) legs.

Thank you for wearing a bikini.

Thank you for wearing that silly hat you like.

Thank you for being cute in that lovely summer dress showing your pigmentation spots.

Thank you for talking openly about your asymmetrical breasts.

Thank you for every inch of pride you have about what your body can do.

Thank you for being openly enthusiastic about the things you like.

Thank you for wearing shorts even though your thighs wiggle, because that’s how I learned: I could do it to.

That’s the point.

I learn this from you.

You brilliantly flawed human beings;

Thank you for teaching me how to be one too.
