What I Always Wanted (Storytime/Rant)

Hai I'm Alexis or Lexi I'm 22 years old and I live in Alabama, US. Because of where I grew up I was bullied, picked on and never really accepted for who I was or wanted to be. I came into my "emo/scene phase" late elementary school-all of middle school and it went on until the beginning of high school. In high school I came into my"kawaii/indie/grunge phase" and I was more subtle then I had been before. Because of where I grew up I was never allowed to express myself the way I wanted too to an extent, I couldn't dye my hair or wear anything crazy(for refrence I was only allowed emo/scene/alternative accessories or anything I bought with my own money which wasn't until high school basically) I wasn't allowed to get piercings other than my bottom ears like everyone else. I ended up rebelling a bit of course and pierced my upper ears myself and there wasn't anything they could do about it, I did the same thing with not letting anyone but me cut my hair so I'd almost always have an emo/scene haircut.

Flash forward to now I have been embracing who I really am since 2018 after I graduated high school I realized I'm an adult I can do what I want and that's what I am doing with my life. I'm doing everything I have ever wanted and I became who I always wanted to be! I wanted to make this for the kids on here who may think there is no hope for them or believe it'll just be a phase because that's what they are being told. I am here to tell you to be whoever you want to be and live in the moment, and if it's a phase you'll find out later but for now be yourself!I had things about myself that were a phase like my more normie phase I mentioned but also the fact that I was more naive in middle school but I think that just comes with being a kid. Adult me is fearless,strong,doesn't take crap from ANYONE,creative,smart,beautiful, and unapologetically myself. Kid me was naive,scared of everything and everyone, sheltered, and lazy. So yes you will change, don't be scared it's normal, but do NOT be ashamed of yourself or who you want to be because someone can't accept you, that's their problem not yours. Once again be yourself unapologetically! Have a nice day everyone!
