"First time I shaved was the day of Homecoming when I was a freshman in high school. I remember it taking a super long time because my body wasn't used to it and there was a lot more hair than I was expecting.
I still don't shave above my knees, largely in part because it just seems like a lot of work and my hair is blond so I figure no one could see it anyway, but as time has gone on I've gotten really self-conscious about that. When I'm wearing shorts or a dress I feel like people are staring at me, maybe thinking 'Oh my gosh she doesn't shave she's so gross,' or 'Her thighs look fat AND there's hair on them,' and it makes me really sad. I know I just put those thoughts in my head and there's a way to change them which would be to just shave up there too, but it kinda freaks me out and also just seems so unnecessary. I don't know! Hopefully I'll figure this one out soon."
