but am I that different?

 Heya,

I have been planning this post since a while now but never knew where to start or if I even want to yap about it...because it sounds like I am in a loop yapping about the same things over and over again.

A few days ago I had deep feelings of nostalgia and felt a little bit depressed..

so I tried forming thoughts in my head about how I feel and wanted to post about how nothing truly excites me anymore.

Well, now I am kinda back to being excited about things but yet it is still not as it used to be.

So I formed thoughts about yapping about adulthood and how I feel like losing my inner child.

But then again, I don't really feel like I am surpressing anything.

and times change, they always will.

A few weeks back I chatted with Ray about how it feels weird to grow up.

Like you can literally tell your body changed and has become more womanlike, not like a little girl anymore.

And how the type of fashion that used to interest me, seems off now.

Like the type of clothes are more...mature now.

And I complained how there is not truly a fashion right now that interests me.

I can narrow it down to "feminine, skirts/dresses", but that's much it.

Last week I dreamed about how excited I was about Winxclub and I collected the magazines.

I religiously went down to the train station every month to buy the newest one.

Back then we still lived in town. I felt nostalgic and happy about it.

I loved how winxclub magazines were colorful and glittery, they always had a cool gift.

When I woke up, I kept thinking about how gyaru technically was a continuation of just that.

It was glittery and colorful. It was more about fashion than winxclub, although winx also had fashion aspects.

Later on I kept collecting Larme magazines.

So basically, the fashion and topic changes but the habits..

me as a person...has never changed at all.

Right now I don't have a specific topic or fashion, also not a special magazine I like.

Maybe it is the habit that is missing here.

I thought about how my style changed but then again...it never, really did?

When I was younger I was dreaming of beautiful dresses.

The dress of Rapunzel in the Barbie movie was my favourite.

As a teenager I would browse prom online shops and how I wanted to wear these beautiful clothes.

When I got older it was this japanese online shop, I forgot the name but it probably was a place where some hostesses would shop too. (something with sugar I guess it was).

And again I would browse for beautiful dresses.

Maybe that was why I was so in love with hime gyaru.

I tried all of the substyles because of the variety but in hime was my soul.

After I quit gyaru the first time I looked up more fairycore dresses and later lolita.

And now, I still wear dresses. It is more mature, sometimes I like a touch of vintage. 

Yet it is the habit that never died out.

Everything is less pink and less glittery.

There is no magazine to look forward to.

They all shaped me in some way.

I can be excited and have passion.

I believe it is the "childlike" excitement I am missing.

As a child there is something you look forward to.

The newest game, the newest show, the newest magazine, next christmas, next halloween..

Now it's just day by day.

-

I want to be excited for the next day again.
