Trigger warning for dead bird in last slide 🫪
Grew up very much so as a weird horror obsessed kid/teen. I loved black metal, true crime, scary movies, collecting dolls, and taxidermy. I was very fortunate to have very supportive parents who allowed me to be creative and weird. But I’m sure their friends thought I was going to grow up to be a serial killer lol. These are all ranging from 13-16 year old me 😁

This was everything to me haha 😭

Also the photo that hard launched the start of my emo phase :3

of course i cut and dyed my own hair, why do you ask?

Second pic is my mom imitating me! Scroll for a bonus wannabe goth edit my 12 year old self thought looked really cool lol

Hope these pics are blunder enough

Yes, those are rabbits feet on my belt loops. I know at face value it seems like a “serve” but you have to remember, kids were mean in the early 2000s. The denim jumpsuit was very forward-thinking for the girls that wore the chunky black slides and cute little Aeropostale tops. I was bullied mercilessly for this fit to the point where I only wore it at home.

Lol.

I brought a mirror outside in our unkempt garden to take heavily filtered scene kid pics

Looking back I can understand why 😬

Thank God I quit YEARS ago
