RE: Hair Salon Thoughts: Physical Insecurities
I've always been insecure with how Morena I am. When I was young, I was told countless times how dark my skin is but I didn't mind. Going to college, everyone's perception of beauty was having a fair complexion so I've decided to fit in and tried different products to change my skin into fair. I avoided the sun and stopped going to the beach. It was very frustrating because I stopped the things I loved to do.
Some worked, some didn't. And for those that did work, people started to notice and tell me how I looked good. I felt down because I didn't want them to like me not for who I really am so I embraced my skin and loved me for who I am. Best choice I ever made!
Morenas are beautifuuuullll 💛 So happy you're embracing your skin now, @reewritesthings! There's nothing more liberating than being confident with your own skin, right? Too bad I always struggle.
If you remember in Steemsummit, I might have looked very aloof, but I was just very socially anxious. I dreaded going near the stage, so accepting the certificate caused palpitation. I was the only one without a picture together with Terry although I was there surprised just like everyone else. Lol. 🙏
I am trying to be more confident though. Hehe. See you again soon, Ree!

Same!!! I don't know I was going to accept a certificate for judging a contest, I was really awkward in the photos, that's one thing for sure. See you soon! <3
