You have to become vulnerable and create your own reality to show the courage so you don't have to follow the paths of others, even if it leads to some people disliking you or creating jealousy because they are not able to get out of those stereotypical labels and actions that society has placed upon us. Why do we want to be perfect anyhow? I mean, a look is a look, and a body is just a body. What is outside does not represent what is inside, but it can influence it. However, the one who is the boss is your inner true self, and to find such a thing today can be as simple or as complicated as you’d like it to be. Why? Well, we make decisions every day to become a better or worse version of ourselves. For example, walking on a beach like Tulum and looking at all those gorgeous bodies that we so call “wish or desire to have” because that is what society has established as beautiful, pretty and gorgeous. Then to decide whether or not we can despise them and be jealous, or be proud and empowered that you and others are beautiful no matter the way one looks. But you know what, as for me, I felt smaller and smaller when I first arrived at the beach. It seemed as if I was crying wolf and crying for attention because the only way I would’ve felt complete would have been if I had gotten a compliment, a guy came over, or even if I was covered and somebody asked why I would not just go into the ocean. By the third or fourth day of the trip, I honestly stopped giving one flying f*ck because, frankly, nobody really cares after all. It may sound terrible, but at least, it’s like a relief and a weight that has been removed from your shoulders.
When I was at that magical place, at the beach, hearing and observing the people around me, I gained so much knowledge and peace that had allowed me to become a better person and honestly connect with a part of myself that I hadn’t before or that I had probably lost. It is as if I had reconnected with who I am and the person I was meant to be, and it happened at the right time and in the perfect place. Being in a f*cking bikini, showing half my bum, and letting my hair loose. Well, it was truly the best f*cking revelation, liberation and even exasperation to the point where I even felt as if I lost weight - maybe not physical, but surely emotional!
