Emily always felt different from everyone around her. She loved dark clothes, goth music, and spending time alone.
One day, she attended a small goth music event and met people who shared her interests. For the first time, she felt comfortable being herself without worrying about what others thought.
That night, Emily realized something important: being different wasn’t a bad thing. She just hadn’t found her people yet.
Sometimes, all you need is a place where you belong. ๐ค

I bought a whole new goth wardrobe the other day at Walmart, Ross and Earthbound. Found some very cute whimsygoth cottage core type of aesthetic. I’ll post photos at some point. Donating all my old colorful clothes, but I kept a few things that were pink and green since that’s my favorite colors.

I also made this pair of bloomers because It's so much fun making them I became kinda obsessed. I have ideas for 5more ๐ That's the problem with sewing & alt fashion design as a hobby: have more ideas for outfits and make more clothes than I could possibly wear...my closet is bursting. But I also don't have the time to do it regular enough to make it a side hustle...

Of course, it was only a matter of time before spiders started appearing in my apartment as the temperatures got warmer...
With my arachnophobia, it really sucks, especially as it's currently exactly the type of spider I react most severely to... And instead of me managing to catch them with the greatest of gritted teeth, they jump away and hide in my clothes in the closet in my bedroom...
Now I'm sitting barricaded on my sofa, "can't" go to sleep and facing the hardest phobia program (heavy breathing to itching all over my body).
It's going to be a really great night and I know that the weekend is completely ruined because of it...
Why do I have to have this severe extreme phobia? Can't it somehow be gentler and "better distributed"?
