They’re time consuming, beautiful, unique, hard to acquire for some and easy for others, all different shades, something that time was invested in: tan lines. Makes sense, right? Some of us human beings enjoy sun tanning, and taking the time during certain months of the year to enhance our natural beauty. So much in fact, some people even resort to imitation tanning, seeking the same result with half of the time commitment.
“The tan lines will fade but the memories will last forever.” Tan lines are risky and time consuming, just like relationships.
Effortless and easily becoming tan, enjoying ever second the sun glistens on her skin, warm and bronze: a positive influence and asset to your life (healthy relationship).
Lathering yourself with coconut scented tanning oil, sliding into a tanning bed in the dead of December, waste of time, and borderline orange: (a relationship crawling with negativity).
Tan lines, if you look at the big picture can symbolize much more than just the effects of melatonin on our skin. You have the ability to get burned. You can’t predict what will happen, even if you use protection. The only way to avoid any consequence at all is to avoid it altogether.
What I am saying is that a tan can appear to be beautiful, but it isn’t permanent and it can cause harm down the road. Take precaution when it comes to exposing your skin, and your heart. You only have one body, one soul, and one heart. Take care of them and block out the dangerous rays.
