1. Every time you take a photo in broad daylight all of your facial features disappear.
2. But also, every time you take a picture at night and the flash comes on, your facial features will again, automatically disappear.
3. Your friends will always comment on what a great “tan” you have.
4. If you have even the smallest pimple, it will stand out. A lot.
5. If you say or do something embarrassing everyone will notice since the amount of blush on your cheeks will resemble a red stop light.
6. The same effect will come from doing minimal exercise. Even a few minutes will lead to you looking like a tomato.
7. You are frequently asked if you are feeling ok, if you are eating enough or if you are sick, and you repeatedly have to give the explanation that it is just your skin color.
8. But on the contrary, when you are actually feeling under the weather nobody notices.
9. Finding make up for your skin tone is hard and in most cases impossible, so you have to settle for the look that has a different face to neck color.
10. You constantly buy and wear SPF 100 but know that it is not enough and wish there was a higher sunblock made just for you.
11. Edward Cullen from Twilight is your spirit animal. You didn’t understand what all the fuss was about them being so “pale,” in your mind the Cullen’s looked like your entire family.
12. When people say “you need some sun” or “you should tan more often” you smile and internally roll your eyes, because they don’t understand you don’t tan, you burn.
At the end of the day, you have to learn to own your paleness and on the bright side, no one will be shocked when winter rolls around and everyone is pale!
