Doing Things My Parents Would Not Approve Of
Success

As someone who grew up in a pretty free opinion household, there are some things that my parents would not approve of if I did them. They always give me the opportunity of expressing myself with my clothing and other things.BUT not with certain things they find “rebellious".

Tattoos

Pinterest

My parents never liked the idea of people getting tattoos and having their whole body covered with them, but in my opinion, I think it's a beautiful way you can express yourself by creating art on your skin and that are meaningful to you. I already in the process to scheduled my appointment to get my first tattoo and my parents won't stop me from doing it.

Piercings

Me with my nose ring

My parents consider that people who pierced their body are drug addicts and have nothing beneficial to bring to this world. I find it as something aesthetically pleasing like any other piece of jewelry. I currently have a nose ring/hoop and I love it! , my parents totally freaked when they saw it and completely disapproved, but with the time they don't even notice it anymore lol.

Hair Dye

Garnier

I think that dying your hair is a form of expressing how you feel and it's a good life-changing experience, my parents on the other hand think it's something that only ridiculous people do , little do they know I'm dying my hair today, so let's see how that goes.

Make up

Debate

MAKEUP IS FOR GIRLS! , something my parents always said when they saw me watching tutorials on makeup or simply watching a James Charles or Jeffree Star vídeo. I bought my first ever palette second semester of my freshmen year of college and I totally love it! , but that's a secret I'll never tell.

And so goes on the list of many things I'm not allowed to do, yet I'm doing. Never feel deprived of expressing yourself, you are unique and Fabulous and nobody can say otherwise. You make your own path.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
