I look at ~savinaswings (https://www.deviantart.com/savinaswings) and :iconspirit-of-kina: and get to thinking I want to do something drastic, too, like dye my hair a synthetic color or get a tattoo. Thing is, I've been so plain-jane all my life, and feel like I don't want to be labeled a poser for doing either of the above. Being on dA kind of makes me afraid to create, as well, since people on here seem to have strong, though admittedly conflicting, views on what is authentic.
I really think :icondailydisappointment: should be shut down.
