Today at work , this goth kid came in with her mom for passport photos. She had jet black hair , with stripes of pink , lots of eye liner , and a pasty looking face.I think she looked quite pretty tho she wasn't very happy when I asked her to tuck her hair behind her ears for the photos lol. Oh well :) but seeing her struck a cord.

I started asking myself - what happened to that lil goth kid in me?

There was a time, I would only wear black , wear tons of eye liner , black nail polish, hair dyed blazing red , acting all rebellious and stuff. Got myself a belly button piercing and even considered an eye brow piercing once.

And now , looking at my wardrobe I find lots of red , purple, white ... and very less black.  I still wear eye liner (which will always be my favorite) , but for some reason I don't look as rebellious as I used to be. I rarely use black nail polish (unless Im out of other colours) , I usually opt for brighter colours now :) and I'm less socially awkward . Also , I notice myself wearing more dresses, more skirts, more heels , and more prints ?  I'm still into all that emo jazz , anime, etc , but not as often as before. Don't get me wrong , I still have my emo moments , and I treasure those moments. They make me feel a lil , make me appreciate life a lil more.

Then I realised .. I barely noticed it .. It happened all so sudden .

That lil goth kid in me had ... grown up.

Always a part of me.
