Back to Reality

 

Faces unfamiliar

Faces familiar

Faces that don't care about me

They know who I am

I know who they are

Some I've known since kindergarten

But I changed.

So that makes me uncool

And they would never talk to me

Never call to hang out

Is being different a crime?

Now people barely talk to me.

The idea to them is unfathomable.

Just because I wear a skirt means you can't speak to me?

Some are unfazed

And see no difference in me.

I thought people were used to me now.

I guessed wrong.

I've never been "cool"

And I understand in a haze of hollister and aeropostale I never will be.

I guess I'm just a nobody.

So I'm back at school. Unfortunately. I decided to start listening to Hole again, which I haven't done in months. It's nice.

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere

Today after school I made some crowns with flowers on them. Yay. I feel creative and happy and rather summer-y.

 The last one is my favourite. Oh ya, this is what I wore today: (I got a new skirt! I thrifted it!)

Sometimes I just don't get people. A few months ago I started dressing "differently" and listening to "different" music. People started to act weird around me. They wouldn't talk to me as much, and some people even don't talk to me at all now. It's really the same Maren. Same personality (crazy!), same ideas, same opinions. Just different clothes and thicker eyeliner. People think that my skirts are suit to be curtains, and that I look "fancy". "Why are you wearing a skirt?" "What's up with the bell-bottoms?" I DRESS THIS WAY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT. Honestly. I think it's also because I go to a very small school and people don't like change. If I went to a school with 500 kids, it would probably go unnoticed. Not that I even want to be noticed. I DON'T! I dress for myself, I wear makeup for myself, and I'm not trying to get attention by wearing flowers atop my head. OPINION. I guess some people think that I want attention, and I want people to look at me. They are completely wrong! A few months ago, I blended in and felt kind of off balanced. Now, I feel right, and I don't really care if you think what I'm wearing is stupid or for attention. I just like it.

You're Breaking my Heart

Helllooooo again! I have some LOVELY pictures for everybody! These were taken on Friday, when my Dad and I went a-walking. YES. I am actually wearing PANTS. For once. It was cold on Friday, so I kind of had to.

Top, jeans & scarf- GRG Purse- Forever 21 Boots- Brash

Yes. So. That is me standing on a picnic table looking very posed.

This week at school it is spirit week. Today was "Mad Plaid Day". I wore my long plaid skirt. Only 2 people in our whole school wear skirts. My friend and I. It's hard going to a school with 110 kids! Actually, my friend and I are the ONLY ones who dress differently. Actually, we are the only ones who wear SKIRTS on a regualr basis. Everyone else is into aeropostale, hollister and tna. I mean, sixty bucks for a hoodie is ridiculous. You are paying for a name, not a hoodie. I bet if that hoodie didn't say HOLLISTER on the front with a little bird and a 22 on the sleeve, no one would buy it!

MAREN

Oh, and do you know how hard it is to ride a bike with a skirt like this?
