How To Be A Person (Life Advice)


 My man has inspired me more than any man I've ever met. He breaks his back bending backwards for everyone, he's a tough ass with the kindest tortured soul.  He has helped me in so many ways, i can actually function now! Today, he works, maybe just long enough until i go to work. We miss eachother even when we've spent 24 hours straight, just he and I. I have a strange feeling that we are so much alike, the world may hit us twice as hard with twice the force to knock us down or tear us apart. Wasted efforts if you ask me. No outside force can touch this!! Lol only 2 in this pod, thats all that matters. 


die Worte, die wir sprechen, wird die Luft, die wir atmen, füllen. The words we speak fill the air that we breathe.




In time, we all develop an emotional attachment to who we used to be. Its gazing into the past and attempting to recreate a long lost moment, simply scarred in our memory. Living in non-existing moments, that are no longer present, can quickly swallow a person into their own oblivion. Worse than denial, worse than depression, its self-separation and its dangerous. Lets focus on the people around us and the moments that are happening now.

If you can't be proud of who you are right now, CHANGE!

If you are unhappy with the people around you, if your feng shui is off, if there is darkness that eats at you…FIX IT!

There are some things that may never change, like the inability to admit that you are wrong. 

The worst way to go about a situation is anger. I will tell you why:

When you are angry, you tend to let care go to the wind. Harsh words, snide comments and rude glares are always first. Talking to someone whilst you are angry creates a whirlwind of problems…
If those problems can be solved, great! But, fair warning, that upset individual will never forget your angry words.

The absolute worst, after the first worst: Letting someone go to sleep whilst angry with YOU! Life 101, people! 
My momma always said "Never go to bed angry, or let someone go to bed angry at you."

Not only have you ruined someone else's day, night, and day again…But you have ruined your own.


Speaking of your feelings to someone that may be causing you some discomfort.

ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP, FIRST!

Otherwise, you come off as a bully. 

If its too difficult to let shit go, you are going to drive yourself into INSANITY! Let it go, be coooool. Dwelling on something may be signs, big, flashing signs that you have an internal issue. 

Do NOT take your internal issues out on the people around you, you will end up all alone. Identify your problems and find out if there is something YOU can do for YOU.

My Top Ten Must Haves *Goth DIY* + Examples


Instead of spending your life savings on a few articles of clothing, invest in materials!!

If you step back and look at the amount that you spend on materials, you might say "Well, I could've just bought that outfit already." But, if you are like me, I don't want what is available to everyone else. I love unique and individualized things, so I invest in my materials. In the long run, its worth it, here are some of my personal tips:


  1. Thrifting (it saves lives) You can find blank canvases while thrifting!
  2. Acrylic paints! Painting on your own clothing is cheaper than paying a company that prints the same T for millions of other consumers.
  3. Cheap Materials. Your local super market or fabric stores will have some really cheap fabric, I always go for stretchy, that way when your measurements are off, its not that big of a deal. Also, look for really thin, sheer material, this will come in handy if you want to make your own screen for screen printing!
  4. WOOD GLUE! Its always handy and a perfect glue for screens (screen printing)
  5. SALES!! At your crafty stores, always look at the clearance sections! 
  6. Know your brands! At Hobby Lobby, I always have a specific brand I stick to, because I know how well the quality is for the price.
  7. Bring a friend. Friends can help you sweep the stores and help find what you are looking for faster.
  8. Food coloring (kool-aid)! Its cheap and always handy!
  9. Poster board/Cardboard. For anything and everything
  10. Sharp Utensils!! Exacto knives are preferred due to their precision, but a box cutter works too.

Things you can do if you already have these things:

Acrylic paints allow you to paint your own Coffins!

Sheer Material=SCREEN PRINTING DIY!!! (thats an embroidery ring holding the screen)







Thrift material and Cardboard, DIY Mini hat!




Poster board and Cardboard+Sharp Utensil=Awesome project time!!



Kool-aid or other inexpensive dyes can dye your Wool/Human hair weave/Clothing etc.




I hope this was helpful and inspiring!! Follow my Youtube channel for video tutorials, random acts of craaaaaayyyyy and funny vlog stuff <3

Goth Problems (Walmart)

I remember back in the day, Walmart was pretty cool. My favorite movies, always on sale, off beat clothing for a good price. Most of all, I remember the help that was never received from Walmart employees…ah, yes, you little bastards.

I'm not saying that EVERY Walmart worker sucks this much ass, but most do.

I used to work at Walmart, mind you, I worked BLACK FRIDAY! I know what its like dealing with picky, whiney customers. But, NEVER, in my time working there, did I ever treat someone with disrespect or get impatient with them! I didn't even give attitude to the woman who stole my PURSE! 

I called up to my local Walmart today, a wonderful young voice answered and nicely transferred me to electronics…then, I get this:





hhhuugghhhTRONICS!






Hi, um, do you have a hard drive for xbox 360…?













UUUGH! Let me check…


















……







Yeah…..














How much do they cost?











OH MY…ugh, hang on….
$129!











For how many GB?







HOLD ON!…HOW MANY GBs ARE THE $129…FOR THE XBOX?! WHAT?!…They are 320!




Ok? Thank you?














YEAH BYE!!
















Not even exaggerating this! I wanted to get her name, but with that attitude, she would have gotten a good WHACK!! 


So, to all people who work with people, BE NICE! You don't have to care with your whole heart, but don't be an ass…you have no idea who you are pissing off!! 

I'm a female goth with a temper and I do not appreciate nor accept ANY form of disrespect from another human being. 

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Goth Style Mashup *NEW Goths*

I was tinkering around the other day and noticed a few new style mashups that would most likely be categorized under "Goth".



Have you ever heard of Ninja Goth? Its not as widely involved in the gothic culture like most trad-goths or cyber-goths, but I could see it rising up…Next thing we know, there's going to be Ninja-Goth Music! Just imagine!
Next, I found this quite intriguing…Post-Apocalyptic fashion, Its a mashup of steam punk and modern tribal cannibals!   It looks like it belongs under goth, with us. I was so interested, but its still so underground without a whole lot of popularity, I want to jump on that band wagon, you guys!


These two upcoming trends inspired me to make this:

Ninja-goth/Post-Apocalyptic skirted tank with hood. The apocalyptic part will come in with the functional attachments that will consist of 2 deep pockets, a couple straps with a few O or D rings. I know its not as extravagant as some of the amazing things others do, but hey, thats me all inspired and what not! 

Please, Let me know if you run into some interesting and underground styles, goth or not!!

I really love talking to you guys, Please leave me some comments to let me know you care <3 (guilt triiiip) lol
