/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

HAPPY FEEL!! I took a long time off from dating after my previous relationship landed me in a psych ward for a mental breakdown (years of emotional abuse from one partner).
During that relationship I clung onto lolita in order to have some sense of self. Naturally when things ended, I attached bad memories to lolita and put it away for a long time. I decided to focus on myself instead of trying to “get over him by getting under someone else” like I usually do, and started reflecting on what I needed to work on for myself. I’m still not in the best shape mentally, but I’m trying to own and overcome my trauma. I started new hobbies I wanted to get into but he wouldn’t allow, I have control over my money and I’m damn good at it, and lately I’ve been feeling healthy enough to dress up again!


Everything has been going so swimmingly that I seem to have attracted a really cool guy too! I’m so happy but I’m horribly afraid
