I Used to Be a Goth

I was a goth from ages 14-17. I loved it. I truly felt like myself, and if I could still dress that way and still be taken seriously, I would. But my jobs never allowed me to have facial piercings and such, and people never took me...

Oh how I miss those days! From 7th grade to 10th grade I was Goth, and for once in my life I felt as thought I found something that felt right. Everyday I'd wake up and spend at least an hour getting my outfit together. Everything I...

When I lose weight and get through my social anxiety and this annoying lack of self-confidence, I am going back to my goth roots. The hair, the clothes, the jewellery, the make-up, the boots, the attitude, everything. I'll have to wait...

I say "used to be" because most people looking at me would never know.
I still have the regalia. I still have the lipstick and the nail polish, and the the eye liner. I just don't need it any more.

I was a goth in high school. I loved every part about it. A lot of it for me was the romance about it. Being in love with death is "safe" and manageable. In a lot of ways i still am in love with death. Now i dont write crappy poetry...

Hello ex-goths, fogey-goths, lurkers alike!

I love the people who say that it is all just a phase.  After twenty-three years, I still love all of the old music
I listened to in High School (Bauhaus, Mish, Sisters, Siouxsie!) but...

Thanks to all the vampire stuff that was starting up a few years ago, it stirred up the goth in me. I didn't do all black clothes and makeup like most. So if you looked at me you really couldn't tell I was a goth. But in my head and the...
