    I can only imagine how great that must have felt. As a kid I didn’t like the beach at all, I found the sand annoying (anakin-padme-1) and it felt like a body show, which felt awkward and made me feel worse over how pale and skinny I am. And that’s without any gender anxiety.

    But in recent years I have nurtured a wish that my life and self-esteem improves to the point that I can have an experience like this too. It’s become a kind of final proof of how much I would have grown as a person.
