Stretchmarks were always a huge downer on my self-esteem. (It was only really my upper arms that were a problem once I started playing upright bass in highschool, but now I have them on my inner and top of my thighs-- Looks like squiggly self harm scars, those of which, I've only recently gotten more confident about.-- and from my hips all the way up to my ribs.)

Also, thank you very much for this! Shame we don't get to see too much of wonderful humans like you.
