I used to mask so much through fashion and trending items and I was miserable until I found my personal style (idk if this was technically masking??? It was just me thinking it was a way to not be bullied if I tried to fit in lol, it never worked lol)
I still love fashion and makeup, etc. but I love it now because I feel like “this is me, if I had to wear my personality in an outfit it would be this” instead of “pls don’t bully me im wearing what the cool kids are”
