Today at the bus stop a French woman stopped me and told me how she once got in trouble for wearing to school something similar to my attire (animal print stockings, studded ankle boots, black dress, animal print scarf) and then said to me: “You are very different, and people probably think you’re weird. But it’s beautiful, you are beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
After a week of people I’m close to talking about how I’m too weird for them, somebody finally appreciates it, and it feels amazing!
It’s just unfortunate that it took a 70 year old lady to see this and not the 18-21 year olds who are meant to be noticing!
