I feel like I did when I was 14 and punk was ‘cool’ and so we put safety pins all over our clothes and I tried to make myself like Skeater-Kinney because they were OMIGOD a lesbian girl punk band. But I didn’t like them.

So when I was 15 I dyed my bangs hot pink and got skinny jeans (6 years ago when they were hard to find lol) and pretended to go make myself like local hardcore shows instead, where everyone claimed to be straightedge even though they were underage and had probably never been drunk.

But then I was 16 and decided all I really liked was skipping school, wearing dresses, kissing girls at parties, and drinking vodka.

AND I’VE NEVER LOOKED BACK
