The freckles on my body suddenly started to appear as I grew older.
They weren’t there when I was little,
Especially around my neck and chest.
Whenever I’d wear something with a scoop neck,
My mother would tell me,
“Wear something else.
Something that hides those things on your chest.”
I started wearing a scarf around my neck at all times.
I wouldn’t even think about it.
I’d wear one even if my blouse wasn’t low cut.
Anything to hide those freckles.
A guy I was dating once asked me,
“Is your entire body like that?
Or is it just that part?
Can’t they be removed by laser?
Give it a try.”
