i'm peeling. i'm transforming into a better, smoother person. the tight dark skin of just a few days past has been shed and underneath i've found fresh pink skin. untanned fresh pink skin. meaning all those hours spent in the sun were wasted. i'm still pale. even worse, i'm pink. and i'm still peeling in random places. like the ears. and the neck. i hope i'm undergoing a literal as well as a metaphorical transformation. i kind of doubt it though.
