Monday - Embrace Paleness?

Since I’ve stopped tanning I’ve been seeing endless articles about other people embracing their pale complexions. I don’t know if I will ever be that brave. Paleness to me equates dull skin, pink blotches and hair colors that never quite go. The idea of pale and proud is certainly an ideal state to be in, I just don’t know if I’m secure enough to do it. Obviously, it would great for everyone to just love their skin color no matter what it happens to be. In my fairytale land of dreams this would be true. I applaud all of you who have embraced your skin and never looked back. I am in awe of your strength and self-assurance. When I think of being pale it almost prompts a panic attack. How will people view me after? Will I still be thought of as pretty? Does my hair color have to change? What clothes can I wear? etc. etc. I’m trying to mull all of this over and see if I can compromise. To be pale or not to be pale. That is the question.
