Let’s normalize being pale as fuck bcs I can’t keep up with the pressure to get a tan cause I can’t afford skin cancer, I have too many problems already

@winchestersalvat reaaaallllll, always felt pressured and insecure of my pale skin, and wanted to be tan because people kept pressuring me why I was white as a North African and that I was supposed to be more tan…

@cardansnemesiss i don’t think they find it ugly, i think they believe it’s odd. But there is an expectation that I should change that so I think it is a beauty standard thing. I think the girls getting tan look amazing, all gorgeous baddies, but I can’t do it, I would think about skin cancer the entire time

@missfrenchgirly preaaaach. I actually find it so sad seeing people using tan spray or brightening creams because of whatever beauty standard is trending. Changing yourself to fit in shouldnt be the way. I have olive complexion and i get tan easily too, now years ago my relatives would keep saying how dark i was and basically made jokes about it. But now that tanning is trendy the same people give me compliments. OH SO NOW YOU LIKE ME? The society will never get satisfied no matter what we do. So its just better to sometimes stop caring at all and just like ourselves the way we are.
