In my life, I put myself through certain social experiments to see and test how much I really either care or don't care about other people's opinions and being a part of a larger collective. Example. When I, okay so you know what, like, hey I'm a Latina baby, I'm a Latina woman, okay? And I'm hairy. I mean it is what it motherfucking is. So Wednesday when I was shaving, I mean it got to a point when I was shaving my underarms like I started breaking out really badly. And so I'm like, why, why do I do this? Why? It gets irritated, doesn't feel good, and I've used a lot of different things. And so I'm like, let me just grow it out. And I used to be so insecure when I first started doing that, but then I'm also like, yo, it's so wild how we are herded and conditioned into meeting global norms, community norms, just so we don't feel outcasted. And it's so wild how whenever somebody challenges social norms, people gang up on them and judge them. And it's so weird to me. So I was like, let me not let that stop at my underarms. Let me not shave my legs. And of course, I felt weird going out in public with it. And then I was like, no, then you know my confidence builds. Like, fuck you. You don't determine how I feel about myself. And then the last piece that I did was my unibrow. I grew up my middle eyebrow for over a year. And again, you know, it's just working up enough nerve to really test, do you truly give a fuck about what other people think about you or not? and then test it out, find out.

I feel you on this, but I don't have none. Like when it comes to the body, I mean, I don't shower every day though. Like everybody say, oh, you're supposed to shower every day. I don't do that every day. I probably go a day or two without showering. By that third day though, I know I need to.

I'll totally feel your sister we are both Latinas and we have to struggle with that every single day I also choose not to shave my whole body you know because it is also causing me

I would say it's societies fault that we basically are forced to shave and things like this it's a matter of self acceptance but I totally agree with you

Good for you! My daughters did the same thing and they asked me why I do and I'm like because it's itty-other-wise so it's personal preference for me but good for you. Seriously, proud of ya.

And life up to I when I want to and Not because of pressures from other people or whatever the fuck they're not shave, you feel me? but I don't do it just because I'm like.
