what's with the winky face? ya got ulterior motives buddy?

YOU GO KIDDO!

they arent upsetting or worrying. ive been seeing those sparkles for years already haha. it just wanted to know if maybe there are other people who know whats going on so i can get an explanation.

its like getting an answer wrong on a test and you really want to know what the answer is i guess????

im pretty sure its not a hallucination, definitely sure its not because of the light. im thinking it might have something to do with the headaches that i get sometimes, but the headache problem didnt really turn up until a year or two ago

but huho okay, maybe ive been talking about the sparkles too much eoe

My mom said if I clean my room really well we can go shopping, and I'm probably going to pose the idea of corsets to her then. We've talked about corsets before, but it was very brief. My mom said that they're becoming more mainstream, not underweary

Oh, hi there! Yeah, you can ask be pretty much anything. ^^

1) How long have I been wearing corsets?

Well, I started liking the aesthetics of corsets in middle school, and I had one of those cheap hot topic ones that I could only wear for halloween. I noticed that actual corsets were an option through a fashion blog (Sophistique Noir) and I talked to my mom (who was also a fan of the blog) and she said she'd get me one but it couldn't be more than 300 dollars. Then I made a TOTAL ROOKIE MISTAKE and got three corset story's instead of a decent one for my 16th birthday. I wore one a week for most of the school year, but they weren't that comfortable and when I got a tumblr I found thisisnotacorset and was like "ohhh" and promptly got a CS-411 for my 17th birthday. I'm sorry this got wordy but I've been wearing corsets for 2 years, and wearing a decent one for about one (I always think it's longer!).

2) How did I bring it up to my parents?

I'm going to rephrase this to "how did I bring this up to my mom" because I love my dad but he doesn't notice anything I wear. A short explanation is I am a barbie doll. My mom (and grandma) really like buying clothes and I like looking nice. So when I pointed out Sophistique Noir my mom was like "those are pretty" and I asked if I could have one and she was pretty much like "why not". And then when I wanted a CS-411 I explained that it was because they were better for you than Corset Story. I kind of started waist training by accident? Like, I bought one that was smaller than my waist because it was just what made sense for a pretty silhouette, and I mostly planned on tight lacing once I had it seasoned, but then ended up wearing it all summer and liked the look a lot, and when I wanted a josephine the only one with my torso length was an 18 inch, I figured "Why not?". If you have to talk to your parents I suggest being ready to link a lot of sources, I particularly suggest lucy-corsetry because she covers health benefits and things, but my personal "can I do this" experience is really boring and not at all problematic (Though my dad thinks my ribbon cincher makes me look like an alien).
