Leg and Forearm hair 💇🏻‍♀️

I’m 22 and I’ve never shaved or attentive to shave my legs or arm hair. Because to me my body hair is natural there’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. All these advertisements encouraging women to shave and be “smooth like silk” or “soft” is always discouraging. I always say “If you can give me one good reason that doesn’t conform to societal and “beauty” norms, I’ll shave.”

So I don’t have a problem wearing t-shirts, blouses or all that jazz cause my arm hair never bothers me. BUT when it comes to shorts or anything that exposes my legs it’s a ❌ NO GO ❌ for me. Like I’m confident in myself and I learned to love myself but it’s incomplete cause of my legs. I’m so self-conscious about my legs, they’re super pale (cause I never expose them to that shiny star ☀️) and don’t quote unquote “match” my sort of tanned arms 💀

I only wear shorts at home but it’s summer time, meaning it’s SUPER HOT and my legs are begging to be freed. But I just can’t bring my self to shave or wax because I’m not comfortable with either of those...

Comment your thoughts. What do you guys think? Should I finally do it and shave/wax or just say “FU world I’m confident in my own skin and your looks and stares aren’t gonna change that!!!” Also how do you feel about this hairy topic? 👀 (get it lol)
