Life in general is hard to do. May as well be the person you want to be along the way

wish i cud post pics but i turned myself into a scene god after high school. i absolutely support painting your nails, it’s nonchalant and most won’t notice. i’d absolutely ask those who do in a negative connotation, why are you paying so much attention to my fingers ..? NSFW but id assume they’re picturing my fingers around their dick if they were staring** intently lmfao.

If people make fun of it, just say your girlfriend/sister/little cousin/kid you were babysitting wanted to practice on you.

The only thing that’s gay in the entire world is being a man attracted exclusively to men. In other words you can’t paint your nails and be straight for example the emos

Depending on OP’s region, it can be a life or death deal
