Eventually you'll not wanna hide that side of yourself anymore. You will get the pont where you just wanna be you all the time in front of them.

My daughter recently cut all of her beautiful hair short! She had been growing it for 13 years. She said she wanted to cut it because it was too hard to manage. I tried buying hair products that would make her hair more manageable or teach her how to style her hair. She didn't even wanna wait for me. She just cut it off without telling us.

And now she's wearing boy hoodies, and wearing black eye liner.

My baby girl…😭

Of course, I'm sure you already know everything I'm saying lol.

I think i know what you mean about superficial relationships. I've been trying to connect on deeper levels recently, i used to just avoid people, and it's hard and often disappointing. I don't think anyone really wants to be a mystery, we want to be seen but idk. I wish people could communicate as easily as some other beings -like mushrooms

Ooooff that's so relatable. You make a really good point about superficial relationships being less risk but it's less reward too. I think that if you let someone get to know you they'd love you to bits.

And remember that it's hard to connect now more than ever since we're mostly all quarantined and whatnot. It will get easier

Mushroom brains.

Bingo!

My mom would talk to me very degradingly and call me a whore and that I was going to get myself pregnant etc and said that I’m the way i am because of no father figure blaming it all on him which isn’t fair. I was always the one with the issues in the family and wasn’t getting the attention i needed so i found a way to get it and it’s all I’m really used to, but it’s also something I enjoy doing. My whole family tried to control me but I ended up rebelling hard. I have some guilt though too because it reminds me of how hard my family tried to prevent everything that happened anyway..

I'm sorry you had a bad childhood. So, your mom ever ever apologized to you for those things she said that scared you or hurt your feelings? Mine never does. She always thinks that she's perfect and rigtheous.

Wow you are really taking his side over hers. I've seen that happen a lot from children of divorce.

I flet like you because I loved both my mom and her husband. I don't always agree about their parenting. The older I get, the more I call them out on certain things. I might get angry, but I never take one side or the other. I had enough insight that helped me realize that sometimes, marriages just don't work even when the husband and wife tried what they thought was their best.. (It might not have been but still)

I just felt depressed that my family fell apart.

Are you trying to say I’m not pretty in my own right ?

I now feel like Halloween is the one day of the year people can get away with dressing up as someone else or display more freedom of expression via costumes or other visual artwork.

I like that, i agree with your assessment. That's how it should be i think. Do something for yourself that makes you happy
