Princesses, disney characters, withces, and crayons? That was the premature stage of my life. I have now moved on to animals. The past few years, i dont know what it is, but the feeling of transforming myself into the most beautiful creatures has captured my inner being. Maybe its what i am meant to be. Maybe in another lifetime i will enter the world as an amazingly graceful bald eagle spreading my wings for all to see. Who knows, maybe i will be a skunk. Either way, i will feel complete.
Every year I would wait for that one day, when I would get to dress up as someone else and get buckets upon buckets full of sweet treats for it. Fine with me! Picking out my costume was always so easy for me. It was simple. Just match my brother! He was Darth Mal, I was princess leah, he was a wearwolf, i was a witch, he was the beast, and i was the beauty. Perfect, no work involved and we were a hit every year. As shown below, supposedly being inatimate objects was the thing? We thought being a crayon was the most original idea yet! Little did we know that 2 other groups were crayons in the neighborhood we went trick-or-treating in. Talk about crushed hopes and dreams.
Halloween now? Its like a whole new world. You dont pick out your comstume until you find out what everyone else is being. If your caught with the same costume as someone else, your in deep do do, and of course everyone is trying to have the most original yet. Trick or treating is not even in the picture anymore. Its all about the parties. Whose going where, who was invited to that one? One big party is definitly in our favor and of course we can have our own candy at the party!
This year all of my friends went as the pink ladies from grease, with their lips blood red, their hair pushed up to the sky and their boobs sprung up to their noses! :p Me, being the outcast that i am (nah just kidding) was a peacock. I thought, why not, its senior year, and i am going to go all out. My hair is probably the best part and it only took me, what, 2 hours? I didnt want to be a pink lady, so i mixed it up a bit and made my own peacock costume. Everyone loved it except the fact that i kept hitting their faces with my tail feathers. It was so worth it. Mwahahaha!
It's a bittersweet feeling to know that halloween is changing as every year passes, knowing that we are not going to be with our close friends that we have now forever and knowing that our youth is passing us by. Moving on is a must and will help us grow, its part of the process that helps us become who we are.
