Tan skin

I use to really hate my tan skin. As an asian milky, smooth, and pale equaled beauty. You should have no blemishes. Being tan ment you're from the country side so considered ugly. People would make fun of you blacky or charcoal.
I had naturally tan skin which equalled I can never have the milky skin that I've always dreamed of. I had blemishes. I was teribly shy. I was short. Even though I knew having milky skin was impossible I always stayed in the shade and wore suncream. But that only resulted in getting a sickly yellowish tan. Which made me feel even worst. But I think I kept at it for a long time.
But now I love my tan skin. I am always out in the sun. It's weird, call me shallow but seeing other beautiful tan asian people made me more confident. Why does being tan have to mean you're ugly? Why does being black have to mean you're dirty? I wonder why people became to think like this. I wonder why I began to think like this.
The media should hire more tan asians and have them try to make them the mainstream beautiful asians.
YAY TAN PEOPLE!
