okay not to sound like I’m preaching about the meaning of Emo to my mom in 2008 but the thing is, especially when you’re young, things are all messy and sort of falling apart, and you’re confused and angry and sad and that’s alright,
but there used to be this idea among my friends and peers that it was okay to LOOK the way you felt. falling apart? cool, brag about how your eyeliner is on day three and you’re in the same hoodie you always wear. no, it’s not the same as getting help, but at least you’re VENTING.
now, there’s so much pressure to hide it. to bottle it all up. Instagram isn’t the root cause, but it really is a shrine to our current mainstream push to make our lives look perfect to the onlooker. It’s not healthy!!!!
We just need to be allowed to look like shit when we feel like shit again!!!!!
Look like shit 2020!!!!!!!!!!
