what dressing gyaru has done for me

I got into gyaru about a year ago. And honestly I've never felt more confident in my life. My makeup skills have improved (tho dont ask me to do anything "Normal" cause i cant LMAO). I've met a lot of interesting people too. Im even in a gyarusa (HI-NRG). I use to dye my hair alot of colors cause Im naturally a ginger but i got bullied for it in middle school, but because alot of gyaru styles has really light hair, ive decided to go back to being ginger! It just makes me feel more confident dressing in gyaru. I use to dress goth and scene but i was never as confident as i am with gyaru.
