"Love your getup. Keep doin whatcha doin" (grocery shopper who discussed ice cream flavors with me)
"No!!! You are so exciting!!!!! You want to be a clown!!!" (coffee house barista after I said my coffee orders are boring LOL)
"I love your energy :^]" (dude who greets people in the office building I have pt in)
"Your clownin out!!!" (my pt therapists who also offered me a reese's peanut butter cup)
"Rainbow!!! I couldn't forget about you, rainbow!! How've you been??" (big lots cashier who I talk with every time I go in)
And I got a hug from a grocery store employee woman (who was abt to leave her shift) & because I said I liked the puffy stickers on her hat. I FUCKING LOVE STICKERS
I just wanted to highlight people being sweet because a lot of the time, alt fashion brings a lot of mean-ness/skepticism out of strangers (in my personal experience); not that I necessarily care (because 100 YEARS FROM NOW 99.99% of us will be gone. THE ULTIMATE PRANK) But it does make it hard/worrying to be self-expressive sometimes. So the little things go a long way. The moral of this post is: the right people will find and be kind to you. Dress the way u want (before the funeral dresses you for you). And also take the free peanut butter cup from your pt therapists (don't forget to bring it home like I did).
