            Ad a kid who looked like book cover Harry potter when they were first getting big, so many adults thought I was trying to look like Harry potter and would tell me I do under the assumption I'd be stoked. I was not, I just had already looked like that and being under 10 years old didn't have too much agency over my appearance anyway. I had glasses cause I needed them and had a really normal haircut. I think I was mostly being contrarian but it also all seemed really childish to me even as a 10 year old. I was really good at reading and was reading the same grocery store crime mystery novels my mom read by then.
