so i didn't know this, but...


apparently freckles are unsightly. people don't like that they have freckles and have a dermatologist remove them with a laser treatment. i read that freckles are the result of too much sun. any of you who know me know that i am hardly ever in the sun, yet i have an abundance of freckles. are they really that bad? wolverine's kayla silverfox had freckles. i know quite a few redheads who are freckled. so i googled, 'i like my freckles'. i wanted to read one website devoted to liking yourself the way you are. all i found was 'i don't like my freckles', 'i hate my freckles', etc.

so i'm taking a stand to say, i like my freckles - they are a part of who i am. plus, if i ever got rid of them, i would be void of color. my freckles are the only thing that make my skin visible to the naked eye.

I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with freckles at all...and I can attest to the hardly being out in the sun part...and trust me, even when she is in the sun, there is some sort of hat or good makeup or high SPF sunscreen doing its job in blocking the skin.

you know... I always liked my freckles... of course I was always outside and there were just enough. I have noticed that real redheads have freckles that just bleed into each other, but yours don't [for the obvious reason]. Didn't Anne of Green Gables have freckles? didn't she put lemon juice on them to fade them? it doesn't work.
