Here we go... What about body hair? What is wrong about that.. I guess, as a woman, I shoud be flawless and have no hair on my body. But why? I personally still can't figure it out... But I remeber that day... THAT day when it all started.
It was some years ago, we were at a pool party with family friends. It was boring but swimming felt good so I didn't care. I remember the odour of the barbecue and the salty pool water. Then SHE arrived. Let's call her Lizzie. Lizzie is my grand-mother's best friend and when she arrived, the first thing she said to me was ''Hi!''
Ok... So here, I was about 12 years old or something and puberty was starting. I had hair on my armpits and legs and... Yeah.
so Lizzie then said ''You know? You should shave. You're very ugly with these...'' I wanted to cry. I just ran into the house and locked me down in a bathroom...
So now, I want to know why we, as women, have to shave to be beautiful. I want to say this. If you don't want to, don't do it. I started to feel so ashamed of myself after she said that. I still feel hurt sometimes and I wanted to write down this chapter because I was shaving my leg and it's winter. I came up to hating myself and I thought it needed to stop. Do what you want with your body as long as it makes you happy. Have a good day!
