Laney.

I don't wear bras.  

Somedays I don't wear any underwear at all.  

I like the freedom I feel and the breeze on my skin, the ease, unrestricted.  

I just throw on a slip dress and sliders and head out.  

Its funny, for me I don't feel embarrassed at the thought.  

I can stand in line at the bakery or lay on the grass in a park, I can talk to you and feel empowered because I know something you don't.  

If you knew it you would look at me differently, you would want to look through me.

Thats what you're made to think, that it's for you I'm doing it.  

But it's not for you, its never even been about you.  

I do it for me.
