That is a relatable dichotomy for most women who know that we are fine just the way we are yet feel the pressure to change. In her post, Cabello went on to explain the lengths she goes to look a way that society has told her is acceptable, and why it doesn’t actually make her feel better, saying: “I got a new bikini, a whole fuckin cute outfit, put lip gloss on, and didn’t eat anything too heavy before going in the ocean cause I knew it was gonna be basically a whole photoshoot.

“I held my core so tight my abs hurt and didn’t breathe and barely smiled and was so self-conscious of where the paps were the whole time I couldn’t let go and relax and do what we’re meant to do when we go out into nature.

“I looked at a group of toddlers giggling with excitement at the waves knocking them over – no sunglasses, no jewelery, no self-consciousness, just the innocence of children – which is the feeling I have always gone into nature for. I knew I looked “good” in the pictures and thought I would feel accomplished and yet I’ve never had a worse time at the beach. I felt the emptiness and sadness of our culture’s thoughts that became my thoughts.”
