-i was thinking about when i was younger and all of the stuff i used to like, or things that were popular: gloomy bear, hamtaro, menhera, skelanimals, etc.. all this stuff that used to be in stores like hot topic. ^-^ hot topic was such a cool place to me because when i was younger, it was one of the only places you could buy emo, goth, punk, alt, etc... clothes and accessories. it used to be so dark and cool looking! :o it's kind of sad how it's changed so much, but i guess the world is changing too! alt is becoming more "mainstream" and things that were considered alternative and weird back then are now starting to become popular. don't get me wrong, i'm happy it is because i often got bullied for wearing and liking those things and i think it's super cool that people are starting to normalize those things. people are starting to express their true selves openly and i think that's awesome ^-^ but a part of me liked feeling like i was a bit different from everyone, you know what i mean? :p different and weird are cool! >_< don't forget that! -Lotus 🌺
