Day 2 – When did you come out the Goth closet?

Music: Miss FD-Enter The Void


It was around x-mas time in 2008 (actually, it was x-mas) and I was taking out the trash and then this happened:

Guy: Are you Gothic?

Me: Uh, *throws trash and then looks at him* I don't believe in labels.

Guy: But if you did, what would you label yourself as?

Me: Even then, I wouldn't label myself.

Guy: Interesting.

*We start walking.*

Guy: Well, merry Christmas!

Me: *Smiles warmly and nods* Merry Christmas!

*Goes back home, smiling until I enter my room*.

A few days later, I was walking with my mom to the bus stop and I saw a woman wearing a long black skirt and boots.  She had purple hair.

I couldn't stop staring at her.  She walked with such grace and confidence.  She didn't care that people looked at her.

While looking at her, I wanted to become friends with her.  I wanted to try on some of her clothes and even borrow some.  Go shopping with her.

Through out that time, I searched online and looked at some of the history of the Gothic subculture.

In the middle of 2009, I officially called myself Gothic.
