I don't understand why people are ashamed of their stretch marks. I am proud of the lines that wrap around my **** and thighs. Stretch marks show growth, they show life, they show that you are human. Do not be ashamed of your marks. Stretch marks show that you have gone from a young child into a mature adult. They show that you have stretched and grown from a tiny body, and that you're finding new ways to fit into yourself. Stretch marks show that you have fought with your skin to feel safe and comfortable in the body you own. Stretch marks are beautiful. You know what's not beautiful? Telling someone that their skin makes them ugly. Telling someone that they should, "do something about that," because their stretch marks to you are a sign of ugliness. Embrace your stretch marks! Embrace the fact that you are not a child anymore, you are full grown! Embrace the sight of lines that wrap around your curves and show that you are developed! Embrace the people who embrace your stretch marks.
