I wish I didn't have skin, the weight, the discomfort, too tight, too visible. Your scars are lightening up nicely. no. Have you been using the cream I bought? no, no, no. Summers coming up, what will we tell grandma? No, no, no, no, no no! Those will be there on your wedding? NO, NONONONONONONONONNN Please don't call me striped, or say I look like a tiger, or how dark my scars are, or how unsightly, or how they'll impact my future, or ask if I regret it. I regret a lot of things. like ever, telling you.
