I have always wondered why my face and neck were much darker than the rest of my body. To the point where I had to match my foundation with my chest so that there was no discolouration – now I know why. It is what I call the lack of SPF situationship.
A scar. The remainder of what was there before, and what is no longer. Beauty was something I grew to love within myself and appreciate it in all shapes and forms. My skin colour, my race, my hair texture – all of it. I was beautiful in my stance. I loved myself. Yet, now I have to find that same beauty in a different version of me.
