Seems to be huh? I can't be what I'm not despite trying to be normal hahah. Thanks for the affirmation <3
That’s the best but though! When you don’t fit in elsewhere you fit in there, and it’s just.. honestly it’s fucking great!
I didn't fit into the punk scene either honestly, but I was a part of it for a long time regardless and the people in it were a lot better than in the dance / nightclub scene I moved onto for professional reasons that's for sure. I found my tribe eventually but I realise now nothing is how you want it to be really and every community has it's fucking annoying insecure gatekeepers. I'm glad you enjoy your people of course.
Being a punk doesn't have to mean hanging out with other punks of course, for me it's always been a attitude and this has never changed regardless of how I chose to look.
