Bootylicious

A friend of a friend made a comment recently "anyone who has the opportunity to wake next to you, especially with that arse, and doesn't is a total dick". Now, I have known this person for a long time. He knows me well and his comment made me laugh.

One of my favs of the Destiny's Child collection is Booytlicious. Notwithstanding the fact that I would love a top like the one Beyonce wears in the clip, the sentiment of the song is good for building self esteem. Let me be clear, I am not encouraging entitlement here. I do not like princesses. I do not endorse expectations placed on others. However, everyone should have standards. And have the self respect to stick to them. Set whatever standards you want, according to your own criteria but do not settle for someone that is not worthy of you, who does not treat you the way you want to be treated. Doing so will make you feel less important and, more than likely, unhappy.

Women, there is a shortage of quality men. Many are lazy and have little pride in their appearance. They have fucking ridiculous demands for their women yet expect that they can do whatever the fuck they want and have us waiting for them when they get home. Not on.

Again I say set your standards and stick to them. Find what you are unwilling to put up with then do not allow someone to push your boundaries.

And, remember, your body is bootylicious. Bootylicious is not just sex appeal, though that does form part of it. The essence of being bootylicious is not related to size either. It is a feeling, a sense of confidence and happiness in your own skin. Be proud of the person you are. Chase your dreams, fall madly in love, use your body, love it and let it love others. Don't be afraid of it and never be ashamed of it. Your body is your best asset. Look after it. Because, like one of the indiscernable cosmetic companies proclaims " you're worth it".
