Seventeen years ago today our world changed by people who want us to comply with their beliefs.
(And, almost two years ago it changed again for the worse by a man who peddles fear.) In the face of all of that, we must strive to remain on the path.
Everyone must learn to become "body positive." But, men must work at it more diligently. As Keiynan Lonsdale, one of the stars of Love, Simon, recently stated as he posted nude photos of himself on Instagram:
"Dance naked, lose followers, gain leaders 💟☮️. | - ***P.s. why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes? We’ve been taught poorly, & groomed to hold shame for ourselves, our human bodies. No matter what we look like, each of us is made to feel incorrect inside our own physical form, told that in order to survive & be a functioning, liked, & well respected person in society, we should hide this form from the world. That shit sounds whack to me. Now, I’m not at all at the confidence level to be neked in public lol, maybe one day i hope, but I’m sure as hell working on sharing & showing off my body to myself.. and it feels good."
There are more "explicit" ones but I don't have an Instagram account, so I wasn't able to capture them but this might suffice as an example.
Bravo! to all the young people who embrace this way of thinking. May we all strive to shed negative attitudes regarding the male body.
No room for shame.

Amen! As I've gotten older I've gotten better at caring less what others think and just do the things that make me happy and running around shirtless is one step I've taken. When I was younger I was way blinded by the lie that I wasn't "perfect" enough to show my belly or chest - Now I say, "F IT"! I don't care what others might think but more importantly I don't care what "I THINK" others think! Free to be me and F the rest. : ) So happy to hear your eyesight is better today, brother. Continued healing to you. All my strength to you. Hugs, Licks, and Strokes, AOM
Did not see any nudes of him on his Instagram page.
What a wonderful and inspiring post today. I hope and pray the condition with your eye is improving. Blessings to you always.
Good advice to live by. I have issues about my body that I deal with.
Last GIF is pretty darn fabulous!
Great as always! Yes! Spring is here! 17C here at present! I see the dermatologist today! "Take your clothes off"! I've scheduled a post, as that means a visit to the city.
So true...it is important to love yourself and be the best you that you can be. Great comment!
I hope your eyes are better. Rest and time help. Is there a root cause?
Now we wait for the Storm to move in, the University sent everyone home today. It seems all the food that you can store without refrigeration is stuff you probably ought not to be eating, processed and high in salt. All the good stuff like Spam and M&M’s.
Hugs and bisous.
Spoken so eloquently and oh, so true ! I must say I'm mesmerized by the gentleman swinging his "bat." I could munch on that all day.
