What is it with this year and death? Millions of people have been affected by Covid-19. Others by police brutality and racial, sexual, and gender injustice. On top of that, each of us has to deal with issues whose gravity only we can feel.

My teeth, my skin discoloration, and this scar have become the trifecta of my physical flaws. And for years and years, I've tried to accept them. I suppose I care less about them now as I've aged and settled quite comfortably in my own body. But sometimes when I see photos of myself that show my teeth or my hyperpigmentation or the scar, I'll feel self-conscious.
Just like the romper, sweatpants were invented about a hundred years ago, by Émile Camuset, founder of the sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif. The first sweatpants were grey and served as the day-wear for athletes when they were training. The "sweat" in "sweatpants" means they're designed to absorb sweat, not necessarily generate it.
