I’m 33 years old. (My brain feels 23 still.) I’ve made a decision at 33 that I don’t think I will ever be tan again. Most summers I have to start with a good burn and then I get a really great tan. I’ve had some terrible burns as a teenager. At times, I have used a tanning bed. I have blue eyes. I have lots and lots of freckles and the like. I’ve had a few pre-cancerous moles removed. I’m a prime canidate for skin cancer. Its sad. I look at all the bronzed ladies out there and want to sun bathe to get my dark 1/8th cherokee indian tan.
But I’ve decided I will not. I will be white. I will use spf 3o or more everytime I’m out in the sun. I will forgo the fact that I know I look better tan, to save my skin from more wrinkles and maybe even the chance of skin cancer.
This is a commitment I am making to myself. I’m writing it down in order to remind myself, incase I’m tempted to do otherwise.
