To everyone who draws on freckles
I have always had freckles, for as long as I remember. My brother has then too as does my sister. We get them from my parents who are also covered in them, somedays it looks as though their skin colour is 'freckles' because of how many they have. We all have many things in common, our freckles, our DNA, and our experiences with bullying. We were all bullied for having freckles and moles. My mum was bullied all throughout her school years for having freckles, my sister and I were always teased for having 'too many dots' or 'dotty skin' when we were growing up. My brother, never looked like many of the kids at kinder because he had so many freckles that his skin contrasted with other kid's clear skin. Most people with enormous amounts of freckles get bulliedfor having freckles. I'm always jealous of people with fake freckles because they get to go home at the end of the day and wipe it all off, I can't wipe mine off. I can't even sandpaper them off. I'm always jealous of people with fake freckles because they get to leave the house knowing that their freckles are allowed to show where as I'm buying tons of makeup to cover mine up because I was always told they were ugly. See where this is going? This is also a collective opinion I should say, I have spoken to many freckled friends who have all shared the same experiences of being bullied, teased, tormented, for something we can't control, being told that they make us unique just so we could gain an ounce of confidence to not have to cover them up just for the same people to mimic them on what, their nose and cheeks? Freckles are on all parts of the body, not just the nose and cheeks. I have watched many videos of people getting freckles tattooed, Would you get a birthmark tattooed on your face? No, because that would be insensitive towards people with birthmarks so why do it to people with freckles? I am not saying "don't you dare draw freckles on" all I'm saying is that when you go home and wipe yours off just remember that there are people out there who can't, people out there who you have potentially teased in the past for having them, and that there are people out there who still have scars from years of torment because of something they can't help, and you can draw and wipe it all off so easily
