9/12

When you put on text (on your person- as clothing/textile, tattoo, or jewelry), do you honestly anticipate readers?

I anticipate readers probably most of the time I wear text.  Sometimes, I just throw on whatever I can find if I'm running late or just extremely lazy that day.  Most of the time though, I read what I put on in the morning.  I guess it's not exactly that I anticipate readers or want them, I think it's more like I'm aware of what I'm wearing.  I wear things just for me rather than for other people.  Even if I ever get the tattoo I want, it will be for me, not for other people.

  1. Thank you for your thoughtful post. I agree with most of what you say here. I think you make a good point that you don't necessarily expect people to read you clothes, just that you're aware of what you are wearing.There are also times where I am just lazy and throw on something. However all my clothing means something. I agree that if I was going to get a tattoo it would be for me, and it would be something meaningful. Thank you for your post.
