5 Stages

The five stages of a sunburn:

  1. Denial- “It’s not that bad….right? I put on sunscreen…a few hours ago….”
  2. Anger. At anyone. “Why didn’t you remind me to put on sunscreen?!” “Why can’t I just get a tan???”
  3. Bargaining. “It will tan. It will be fine.” “If I wear cool tone clothes this week no one will notice.”
  4. The sad part. “Oh my god it’s not even going to tan its just going to peel”. “From now on long sleeves this summer it is.”
  5. Acceptance. “I messed up. I would say I am going to learn from this experience, but I will probably fry my skin next weekend again.”
