OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Whoever uploaded and translated this, thank you so much! I’ve been looking forward to the next chapter and I’m so thankful and grateful for this chapter. Truly, thank you for translating this story.
I used to be like the main character and It took me about 2 years to wear Lolita fashion outside. I felt most like me wearing it, but I was afraid of what others would think or say. But when I did (and on Halloween so it wasn't too suspicious) I felt the most like "me" that I ever had in my life thus far. And though my mom was supportive, she didn't understand my expression of fashion, and the expression of my true, most authentic self. Now I wear it out like nothing, proud to be who I am and I’ve received the most compliment when wearing Lolita. It's like people can see what I’ve been wanting to show, to explain.
I used to not be comfortable in my femininity as a girl and denied myself of what was seen as girly since I was too "tomboyish" and I'd be "a clown wearing a ball gown" if I dressed how I wanted to. So I hid in what I thought I was supposed to dress as. Pants and baggy shirts, no accessories or makeup, no pretty dresses and heels. I used to be happy and embraced it when I was very little but the words of people got to me. And when I finally realized I wasn't happy, I started exploring a bit more.
I still didn't embrace my true self, and vented my frustration by drawing my dream dress. Now I had clothes which were feminine and cute but they weren't "me." And so on my birthday, with a shaky voice and teary eyes, I only asked for a dress. And I'm thankful that I did. Reading this series makes me remember the journey I went through to embrace myself and not care about fitting into the mold of "normal". Normal is whatever I want to be. And it's what makes me happy.. Thank you for you efforts in translating this🫶🏼
