Stop apologizing for your body making other people uncomfort
148,364

Stop apologizing for your body making other people uncomfortable. You are allowed to take up space, you are allowed to exist as you are && if you want change—change for YOU, no one else! It’s time we start normalizing all bodies, because all bodies are normal. It’s time we stop normalizing societal beauty “standards” as the only standard of worthy. Stop apologizing for your cellulite, for your stretch marks, for your side boob, for your curves, for being thin, for your butt dimples, for your bloated belly, for your extra skin. Stop apologizing for other people’s discomfort, stop covering up other people’s approval. Let them be uncomfortable so that they can grow! #nowthisisabikinibody #yourbodyisbeautiful #bikiniseason #allbodiesaregoodbodies #allbodiesarebeautiful #normalizenormalbodies #bodyliberation #bodypositivitymovement #bodypositive #18weekspregnant #enjoythelittlethings #bodypositivitymovement #bodyacceptance #stretchmarks #cellulite #normalpeople #funnyreelsvideo #butreally #enjoythemoment

Good sportsmanship 😂 In an impressive display of sportsmanship, Derek Parker, a fighter at the Progressive Fighting Academy, assisted his opponent during a match by helping him get his mouth guard back in place. This unexpected gesture demonstrated Parker's respect and concern for his opponent's safety, even in the heat of competition. Such acts of kindness and fairness highlight the true spirit of martial arts, where respect for one's opponent is as important as the drive to win. This moment not only earned Parker admiration from those in attendance but also served as a reminder of the importance of integrity and sportsmanship in competitive sports. #mma #boxing #funny #sports #paris2024
