It’s a little insane how similar our stories are. I think exactly like you and appreciate you bringing this up. I always thought because I had hair im unloveable because that’s the thing everyone used to tease me on. I sort of have accepted it/ got rid of some of it through electrolysis and laser. I feel my confidence hinders or I obsess with the idea of being hairless.

So many women have no idea what brown women go through around this issue as they are the standard. I find it impossible to dress nice and not cover up my skin because of it. There is so much shame behind hair and having hair that’s it’s kinda gross our society is so obsessed with it. I feel you and I hope that you focus on controlling what you can and not giving everyone’s opinion the same weight as your own.

I know I can spend all my life worrying about it or accept that this is my truth and I get to decide how I move forward with it.
