Sun Goths
Greetings all,
I have not made a post here in quite some time. Over a year in fact. A lot has happened since I left Orlando in January of 2004. My life has been changed and shaped and I have been through a crucible of fire. In a little over a year this chapter of my life will end. But the ink is permanent and everything I have done will be my history. That said I had lost my way for a long time. All my life I knew who I was and then in three months I lost myself for over three years.
That said I came to an epiphany today. I realized that there is no one at the mall during the day. The Yuma Palms mall is a big outdoor shopping center. To illustrate this please realize that is was about 110 degrees in the shade and Yuma Palms has a Hot Topic. But I realized, most goths go out at night because they find like-minded people or solitude. They do not have to deal with the mundane trappings of a comercialized society. And yet here I found that to be true in the daytime. If you can stand the heat then you can prosper quite well. This is information I intend to take to heart since I am soon to be alone as my friend is being reassigned to a new base.
