Everyone is different and have something about them that makes them who they are. Many people judge. It’s hard for some to stop when it’s human nature but it’s not fair. That shouldn’t be an excuse anymore. The world is changing and so are people. There are too many people that are being bullied...

Summer is coming up. Yes that time of year to be free and wear anything you want is right around the corner. I guess for some it’s considered no clothes season too.
