Went thrifting today, also the first time I went in public with ears and a tail, and of course I ran into someone I know lol. It was all good though, and I had a really fun time.
It’s okay to be weird, and I know that I’m weird. My thinking is, if there’s a smaller creature out there whose parents don’t approve of their weirdness or let them express themselves, I want to be someone who shows them that it’s okay. It’s okay to be odd and show your true colors because you’re going to find people who like that. You’re going to find people who like you for being you.
I went out with my friend, and I asked in a joking way; “will you be ashamed to be seen with me?” and she said “no” because she loves me for being me, and if me wearing animal ears and a tail makes me as happy as she gets while reading angsty tmnt fanfiction and drawing fan art of it, why should she care? I’m not hurting anyone, and I’m not putting myself in danger.
Yes, I do live in Tennessee, but I live in a larger city, and honestly? It makes a lot of, if not the majority of people, happy to see someone being able to be themselves and be joyful about it. It’s mostly middle school boys that stare, but I hope most are smart enough to go by the rules of “live and let live”.
-It’s good to be weird as long as no one’s getting hurt
-it makes people (especially old ladies where I’m at) happy to see someone being joyful in their lives
-i can’t promise, but i can hope, that whoever out there who can’t be weird right now will be able to be weird someday.
