Arm warmers, chains and chokers...

I watched a guy with hand warmers on the other day and wondered why he didn't wait until he got into the ac to wear them :/

It only struck me afterward  that my concern wasn't that he was wearing hand warmers in a country that hasn't seen snow since the world was covered in ice, it was because I felt hot and thought his hands must be warm af in that woolen accessory;

There's a girl I see sometimes who wears black, sometimes weird socks or leg warmers, hand warms too...this time he little skirt had chains- that made me smile.

There was a time I wouldn't go to the supermarket without chains, skull jewelry and some form of rock blasting in my ears (and the surrounding thanks to my shitty headphones lol); I graduated to my spiked collar and goth makeup around form five: I had found my calling!

I enjoyed and still enjoy the comfort of wearing spikes, chains and skulls/dragons, but I haven't done that since my last rock show, ages ago...

Have a 'grown up' and grown out of my goth 'phase'?

I honestly don't know..

Seeing these younglings with their little touches of temperate climate/culture makes me wonder: have I just been playing a role-the role of amped up outsider, goth chick-or was that...is that me?

Or was that me?

Do you have a teenage-into-young-adult part of you, whether it's clothes you used to wear, people you idolized or limed (hungout) with, animals you collected:

Is there something you used to do/believe in religiously that you have either stopped completely, barely make time for or even forgotten about?

I have a couple of leg warmers I'd love to put to use sometime...I just don't know if my reasons are the same as they were ten years ago...
