horrible horrible bad hair day. ick.
why i love chictopia? PSHH how about why WOULDN’T i love chictopia?! lol. anyways here’s my chictopia story.
Around July of 09 I had sunken into a deep hole of depression. While everyone around me was growing into adults and just living life to the fullest… mine was falling apart. I was diagnosed with a rare heart disease that limits me from doing every day normal activities. If i stand longer than an hour..i’ll pass out..go into cardiac arrest..and die. My mom struggled with my health bills..and she did everything she could to help us survive. She pawned everything she owned..sold anything she could..and even started selling the clothes off her back. Just to help pay for what i needed done. That’s when i started to become a recluse. i never left my house..stopped taking pictures..just completely withdrew from the world. All i had was the internet..and my hubby. So one day while i was browsing through google on ‘cute outfits’ i happened to notice a LOT of the searches were from this place called ‘Chictopia’. I decided to check it out..and i instantly fell in love with the website. So many different types of people, from all around the world, LOVE FASHION like i do! i wanted to make my own account..but i was kind of skeptical. i thought ‘no one on this site would ever like me…i don’t have tons of money to buy clothes..everything i have in my closet probably adds up to about $100.00’ but i decided to give it a try anyways. so the first photo i uploaded..i had 20 comments in about an hour. i was completely shocked. they loved my hair..my style..everything! i searched through the style gallery and found out that half of the girls in there thrift for almost all of their clothing too!! i began adding people and commenting like crazy, and now chictopia is my addiction. each day i HAVE to post something new, or i will just not be satisfied with myself. i love chictopia because it gives me the feeling that fashion has no limits..and neither do i. I can express myself in whatever way i want to, whenever i want to.. and everyone loves me for it. the sweet comments and lovely girls here are what makes me smile. Every night i can hardly wait to wake up the next day to scrounge around my closet (or my mom’s hehe) and run outside and take photos. So this is for you Chictopia. Thank you, and all of the wonderful people on here for grabbing me out of the darkness..and throwing me into the spot light. Thank you for helping me to learn to love myself..just the way i am.
