Bravery!

I wore...



a bikini...



for the first time in my life...



on a public beach...



in California...



I am covered in stretch marks. I have many scars.



I have quite a bit of Jello-looking skin. It doesn't pop back the second time.



I am VERY obviously from a more pale part of the country.



I just can't bring myself to care anymore. I am not my body. (Thanks for backing me up, sis!)



PS Just because you never burn in MN, doesn't mean you won't burn in CA...
