It’s getting super old when people keep calling me “demon” or someone they assume has a criminal record because of how I look. The most annoying one? “You’ll never get a job looking like that”.

Let’s make something clear and I hope you learn to either keep your mouth shut or learn to respect people regardless of our outward appearance:

I don’t have a criminal and I’ve never been to prison. I’ve studied at 2 colleges and I completed both, and believe it or not, the second college I attended was Richmond College, London. I also have a qualification in understanding mental illness and I’m a certified mental health counsellor. I have a qualification in customer service and I am employed full time, the bonus is I can still look the way that I do, at work. I work hard, I pay my bills and I pay my own way through life and I never ask for help. I moved out at the age of 17 due to my own deteriorating mental health and a narcissist for a parent. I’m nearly 27 years old and I have never gone back to my family home.

Some of us look this way because we want to and we feel comfortable looking the way that we do and our appearance has absolutely nothing to do with our capabilities in doing things. It does not hold us back in life. The things that do are people who are judging us, the employers who are close minded and discriminate without looking at our actual skills and work experience. Fuck, I even got my hand tattoos laser removed because an employer said that my hand tattoos were the only reason she wouldn’t hire me despite the qualification I had from a London college I went to. Don’t worry, my hands are fully tattooed again and I’m not removing them. We are free to look how we want to and we shouldn’t have to deal with your pathetic comments all the fucking time. It’s old and boring, none of you have anything original to come up with which is why we roll our eyes every time we hear “Halloween is over”, or “take off the Halloween mask”.

Other stupid comments like, “you’ll never get a job”, “you’ll regret getting all those tattoos and piercings when you get old”, “nobody wants to date someone who looks like you”, “you have daddy issues”, “fatherless child”. All of these and more are super fucking old. Most of us have parents who are proud, some of us lost our dads to cancer, me being that person. Most of us are educated people. We have a job, we work hard and we all do this looking how we look.

I swear to Odin I will literally cunt or dick punch you if I catch you making stupid comments again. It’s really, reaaaalllyyy old. We’re approaching 2022, this isn’t 2006 where you think speaking in uneducated and poor grammatically incorrect words behind a screen is going to do anything apart from give you that 0.001 second of gratification that you so desperately desire. When you bully people, you’re only telling us that you’re broken and that you’re hurt. If you’re reading this and you’re one of those people who feel the need to bully and bring your victims down to your sad and self loathing level, I hope you step on Lego, you fucking twat. :)
