Run Away with Me?

Apr 18, 2009 22:05

I think I should sell my lolita wardrobe and get out of the fashion for good. I feel like I'm being selfish and wasteful when I buy new clothes or any lolita accessories. I don't feel pretty anymore either, at least not in the way that I used to feel when I dress up. Although, I am still in love with the aesthetic of lolita and fascinated by j- ( Read more... )

I know how you feel about wanting to move away. I would love to live somewhere different like San Francisco, Colombia, Paris, Amsterdam, or japan. Kind of random places but I really hope I get to travel someday.

I have a few of the same places in mind actually. I'm really aiming to save up enough to travel next summer. I just want to take the entire summer and just leave.

oh man that would be so amazing.

I see what you mean. Ive been also thinking of just selling all my lolita. I could make a hefty sum and atleast go visit japan for a few weeks.

And about the selfish thing, So what? be selfish. Its your life and your young. travel be happy cause in 5 years or so life is going to get so serious that you would kill to be able to do those things.
p.s. dont sell your stuff till we alteast hang out 1 more time! ♥

I think I'll hang on to all of my stuff until I'm ready to travel. I'm aiming for next summer, so I'll just sell as much as I need to cushion my savings(which is zero right now XD).

Honestly, I think you're perfectly suited for lolita & j-fashion in general and would hate to see you leave it. But if it doesn't make you happy then you gotta do what you gotta do. Since you're feeling selfish, if you have the time, perhaps instead you could do some local volunteer work instead.

As for the need to leave, I dislike it a lot too where I'm at right now and just want to leave and go see the world. I know how you feel about wanting to get away from the unpleasantness but moving just to forget or pretend it didn't happen isn't the answer either. You'll wind up running for the rest of your life and probably keep encountering the same problems over and over. As for figuring out what you want, shit, I still don't know what I want half the time and I'm 25 already x_x The only thing I can say that I've found is it's the people I'm around who really make things enjoyable so... find new people? Get the hell away from the bad ones?

As for book suggestions, do you have any preferred genres?

that_chick13 April 19 2009, 16:44:50 UTC

I prefer Distopian themes, but I haven't sat down and read a book in so long that I'm open to almost anything. As long as it isn't Twilight or anything remotely like it XD

lol gotcha. These are on my future reading list but I've also heard good things about Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, The Giver by Lois Lowery, and CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by George Saunders. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a good read. Like evedestroys, my bent is more towards fantasy books though. I really liked Trudi Canavan's Dark Magician trilogy. I also finished Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart series not too long ago and it was quite enjoyable.

: D I hope this is not a long winded response ( ... )

Thanks for your support^^ I'll hold off on selling my things until I'm ready to travel and I'll do my best to budget. Hopefully I can find a second job over the summer too.

that_chick13 April 19 2009, 16:46:25 UTC

Oh, and I love the Dark Tower series. I read them when they first came out and I loved them.

black_cheshire April 19 2009, 14:27:06 UTC

You're always welcome to join me an kevin on our boat. :D We're getting the hell out of here!

black_cheshire April 19 2009, 14:30:30 UTC

oh, ps, you already know I think you're the cutest loli evar. :_: Keep a few dresses, and we'll be loli pirates or something. XD

that_chick13 April 19 2009, 16:33:23 UTC

Haha, yep. Real pirate-loli FTW! When I was living in St. Augustine I had a few friends who lived on boats and traveled a lot. My bf lived on a boat for a while.
I would love to go sailing off with you guys, where ever ya'll go^^
Lets make some real concrete plans soon.
