I didn't introduce myself here (I'm hopefull and this is my story ^^ ) by Maschera

Hello beautiful people,

I'm Maschera, yes I'm a Masked girl, cause everyone has his masks, I'm 29 years old and I'm from Spain, I love playing videogames, tattoos, goth stuff, art, Metal music and dogs (specially huskies *__*)

As some of you may know my first set came out at the beginning of October, I'm hopeful and I hope it will be well received.

But I'm not only here to introduce myself, but also to explain why I'm here, in this wonderful website and community.

I was a weird teenage girl, I loved tattoos since I was little, wearing black and above all, I loved video games. I saw the pictures of other girls on the internet and I thought I didn't belong to this world (by that time I already felt I didn't fit in anywhere) "OMG, a gamer girl, and she dresses in black? YOU'RE A FREAK!" I'm talking about more than 10 years ago and being a gamer goth girl wasn't fashionable. I felt bad, disoriented, weird... I don't know what was going on with me.

It was then, when I was 17 years old when I discovered this site, it didn't seem weird to me that there were girls showing off because they wanted to, girls like me, with tattoos, earrings and with an alternative attitude. I found a place, I found me and my style. I found myself and that I wasn't weird, that there were more girls like me and that they were happy and above all they were themselves.
I found my place, yes, but this time I saw the girls so beautiful and so spectacular that I thought not to apply for hopefull, I didn't see myself enough.

This year, after more than 15 years of depression, I decided to ignore my low self-esteem and finally take pictures of myself (thanks to @mourderousx for taking me SO WELL and making me trust myself and my body, and congratulations for became PINK, you deserve it).

Finally, on OCTOBER 2nd my first Crimson Desire Set came out and it's being very well received, but today I still think I'm not enough.
