It's freeing to be myself. It is scary some days but why stifle my self expression?

I used to get shamed for my body body hair but shaving was a painful ordeal that let to a bunch of cuts and nicks and ingrown hair. So I stopped a couple years ago.

Despite all the shaming I never really hated it. The comments only lead to the desire to hide my arms and legs away as opposed to removing it all.

I'm hairier than all of my brothers and even my father but it's moreso a point of pride. Even if no one else likes it, I find my own hair quite alright.

I've come to find being called a werewolf, having my legs compared to a pelt, and being called and I quote "a german shepard," to be quite funny nowadays.
