16 Year Old Me

 

In honor of a blog I follow called "Melanoma Sucks" at http://melissa-melanomasucks.blogspot.com/ I am going to do my own Dear 16 Year Old me!

Dear 16 year old me,

Please do not spend so much time laying out on the beach using baby oil! You do not need to be tan. There is a reason you have freckles. YOU are a pale skin person who needs sunscreen. Also, a tanning bed...REALLY? Take Care of your skin!

Sincerely,

Older Me. 

ps....older me...forgive 16 year old me for what she did, she did not know how scary melanoma really was and she definitely did not know you would be fighting stage IV cancer 20 years later.

In case you have not watched the "Dear 16 Year Old Me" video, here is a link:
