While the world seems to be obsessed with body size at the moment, one "plus-size" blogger is calling out a word she's tired of hearing: brave. After rocking a one-piece sans cover-up at the beach, Jessica Kane, the woman behind Life and Style of Jessica, took to social media to vent about hearing the backward-compliment.

"THIS WAS NOT BRAVE," she captioned an Instagram pic of herself, posing in the sand. "I've been told how brave I am for not having a coverup, but going without a wrap would only take bravery if I cared what others thought of me, but I don't."

She then went on to list people who she thinks are truly brave: "A family battling tragic illness, a mother trying to beat addiction, a person trying to break free of domestic violence, reaching out for help when you have already planned your suicide and feel like you can't breath one more day."

We totally agree. And while her photo isn't something that should start some buzz, her caption rules — so much so that we've named her our #WCW. Keep scrolling to read Jessica's comment in full, then shop her swimsuit because, hey, it's pretty adorable.

THIS WAS NOT BRAVE. I've been told how brave I am for not having a coverup, but going with out a wrap would only take bravery if I cared what others thought of me, but I don't. I spend my time worrying about things I CAN control and this day, I was only thinking about how fab I felt and how much sun I was catching. Things that DO take bravery? A family battling tragic illness, a mother trying to beat addiction, a person trying to break free of domestic violence, reaching out for help when you have already planned your suicide and feel like you can't breath one more day. THAT is brave. Not wearing a swimsuit at the beach. LIVE life and only worry about what really matters.
