When people think I’m joking about being so white I glow in the dark, I’m not. I really am that pale. I hate it. I look sickly in a dress for a Black and White party. I don’t tan, I turn Lobster Red.

@SatuUnelmia You're pretty. Isn't that alabaster skin. I read that it was considered an ideal skin type for women in the baroque period.

@Kittiekatt53 thank you, I can be a hot mess in tons of pictures too! This one just shows how pale I am using the color black. I grew up on the beach so during this period of time it has not been ideal! 😂😂😂

@SatuUnelmia

I'm that pale. Husband jokes (not really a joke) that he can see me in the dark. I can't tan. Burn and heal to white. Fuck it. I rock the hell out of it. No one should/should be made to feel ashamed or embarrassed about their natural skin color be it dark or light.

@SatuUnelmia

You don't look, at all, "sickly". You aren't blue from lack of oxygen or yellow from jaundice. Just normal. Maybe you're hearing other people's words echoing in your mind?

@SatuUnelmia I think you're awesome- and girl- I love that dress!!
Alright Lobster red is annoying but here's a reason to go out with that :)

@csforyou you are such a wonderful cheerleader here! From reminders to uplifting words, you are always there! I appreciate you, not just for this comment but for always being a support system! 💕💕

@SatuUnelmia 💜 thanks you, your words mean a lot to me. I don't feel like being present enough- but as present as I can so I still have the capacities for rl . The great thing on this platform are the numerous supportive and copassionate people and accounts. There's always someone to lift you up.

@SatuUnelmia Very similar here.

I've finally found a facial moisturizer that has a sunscreen that doesn't cause me to break out this year. No more fried face, although the sun damage of years can't be compensated for.

I've also taken to wearing a long sleeve SPF 50 shirt like an open jacket when I go out on high UV days.
