current status: freaking out about literally everything

what's keeping out practically every disease, infection, and contamination? skin

what's responsible for 90% of cooling you down when it's hot outside? skin

what can absorb radiation from the goddamn sun and somehow you only get hotter for it? skin

what organ can you decorate with paint, cosmetics, tattoos, and also use as a to-do list when you've got your wrist and a sharpie? SKIN BABEYYYY

practically every organ is annoying in some way. the human body is cursed. every bone and muscle is built spitefully and your immune system is halfway trying to kill you. but skin? skin is trying its very best and it's doing a great job of it. skin is healing up after the most fucked up stuff imaginable and growing back twice as strong because it loves you and wants to protect you. this is not a shitpost i just genuinely want more people to take a second to appreciate something about themselves they've always taken for granted
