I agree with Nicola’s sentiments completely. While I’m sure people had good intentions when deeming her “brave” and a “heroine,” it actually just perpetuates a belief that her body type isn’t beautiful…that it’s surprising that she would want to show it off. Just remember, you decide what’s beautiful…don’t let the world do it for you.
