The Problem With Hair

I don't think no one knows how hard it is to be hairy. I know that everyone has hair in many parts of their body but I have excessive hair. I'm what you call "balbon" in Filipino. My black hair is prominent everywhere. It's thick and long everywhere. And when I say everywhere, it's literally everywhere.

I think there's a double standard with shaving. When I went to the States, before I went out in shorts, my dad told me to go shave because all girls in the US shaves.

I find it so hard to shave just to appear aesthetically pleasing. Why am I not enough in this skin?

I don't want to shave my arms. I don't want to shave my legs anymore.

I can't wear the clothes I want anymore because I'm hairy. I feel embarrassed of myself when I go outside. When I see other people who are hairless (but not bald), I feel immensely jealous. I hide my arms because it's hairy af.

Anyway, that's it. I don't want to cry over my insecurities anymore. It's unhealthy.
