Almost 40 years ago. I was trying on black doc marten boots at the mall. She was standing off to the side and said “they look good. You should get them.” I awkwardly replied “uh thanks” then walked the opposite direction to the cashier to pay. Never saw her again lol

Me seeing girls with flannel shirts over ratty jeans

the Hex Girls sent my life on an entirely different trajectory. Maybe I could have had healthier relationships if I encountered them at a less critical part of my life.

yes it has become the feminine ideal i strive to achieve, and also i want to date a girl like that

For me, it was Winona Rider in Beetlejuice. I wasn’t even old enough to understand why I liked watching that movie so often.

It feels like anybody with an alternative, subcultural look had some sort of impact on me when I was a child. People with these really big sweat pants and dreads, punks, goths, and so many more people who looked “interesting” to child-me. And today, I still refuse to look “normal” in my everyday life because these people showed me that I can be whoever the heck I want (to a great extent, at least. I’ll still dress up a bit for an interview or whatever)

Same. Exact same.

That happened and I’m perfectly normal today. What do you mean? ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)
