from pathetic to aesthetic

In high school/ senior school, hobbies, interests and pretty much an expression of a personality of any kind is treated like a war crime. Unusually both by teachers and classmates alike, my friend who is probably gonna read this (hey friend!) was penalised (sorry I am an adult now but I just snickered at the word penalised like a literal child, I am ashamed and I must expose my self... tangent aside), for wearing this penny sized rolling stones bag, who was that offended by it had to be removed. WHO. find me the kid in my school who's big trig was the rolling stones, bring me that child.

In addition to this, we were told to take all makeup off, wear wider trousers and people were made fun of for hairstyles, phones or even key rings on their bags, or keys.

Like I am sorry but do you want me to lose my keys because I cannot find them without my massive ass rubber sonic the hedgehog keyring. I will not be homeless for you peasants. Avert your eyes if the blue cartoon hedgehog offends you so much. censor him out of the CCTV if you need to but he's staying on my keys, well actually he has been replaced with a scooby doo keyring now but you get my point.

 Now I had other interested than blue mutant hedgehogs such as old/ retro/ vintage junk. Anything from before and during 2005 was gold dust to me. I still don't know why I just like retro stuff like polaroids, tapes, phones cameras, books, clothes literally anything. At school, this would have been classed as weird. In my case, mainly as at this time I had a lot of really old gothic looking stuff to which I honestly wouldn't even bust out in front of my friends because I thought they were gonna think this was hella weird.

 Anyway I was a loser we have established this but now I literally post stuff like a mixtape or a tapestry or a vintage spyglasses on Tumblr, Pinterest or Instagram and although I am not overwhelmed with likes and praise for it or anything dramatic like that, I never ever get negative comments because people think hey, nerdy stuff and vintage stuff are pretty cool.

When I was a kid and everyone would talk to me about being older and people being less judgemental, I mainly thought they where such liers and honestly they where a bit because not everyone is gonna unlock some Gandy level of acceptance skills when they leave school but you will, went you leave, meet a wider range of people, in real life and online that are not gonna find you or your interests weird they will think they are... well interesting. So if you're in school still give it a couple of years and then kick life's butt by being your self or just do it now, no one can stop you now (you're having a good time). if your gonna wait then that's okay too hang in there and remember high school won't last forever, your school years are short and life is actually pretty long, the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, veva la rolling stones badge and stuff.

good night everybody.
