Dear 14 Year Old Dot

Dear Dot,

What Do I Like About Me?

I don't normally do tags. If I'm honest, I just don't find they particularly original and I prefer to be a bit more creative with my ideas- that's not to say they're all bad, just not for me. Anyway, Don'tBurstMyBubble may have completely changed my opinion of them with the 'What I Like About Myself' tag, which I think, is just flipping marvelous!

Strong, not Skinny.

As you know, as I've not shut up about it for the past week, I went away recently. The plane journey wasn't very long but I bought myself a magazine (Heat to be precise) for entertainment on the hour long trip and there was an article in it which really infuriated me. The aim of the article is to promote women being 'strong' and 'athletic', not 'skinny'. What a load of bullshit.

Self Confidence

I feel very uncomfortable and completely out of my depth writing about this but it is something I feel extremely strongly about and maybe my opinion will have some form of impact on someone who reads this?
