Teen Gothic

Since I graduated highschool last year, I have had the hardest time finding the time to dress goth. It honestly makes so me depressed when I think about it too much. 😭 I just feel like I can’t be myself anymore. I have to wear scrubs and tennis shoes to school as I’m going into cosmetology. For work, I have to wear a shirt with my jobs logo on it and pants “but not jeans.” So, basically khakis.(I have gotten away with like cargo/utility pants before.) I live in a pretty small town, so there’s not much to do outside of work or school that I can dress up for. Definitely no cool goth clubs. 💔 Online everyone seems to focus on corporate goth, but I work a pretty outdoorsy job.

I have had a lot of people tell me “welcome to the real world” when I have expressed this, so I’m hoping maybe someone here will have some suggestions!

Edit: for context I’m a girl lol
