I dont quite understand why this is such a big deal, what the fucks been stopping her before from doing what she wants to do until now? Because what she actually likes doesn't fit in with her internet persona? I thought most people get out of this way of thinking when they leave school? No one cares! Or on the contrary - maybe people actually want to see your real personality lily??!
Or maybe it's just since getting a boyfriend who shares/encourages her interests? Very strange to me either way that she's seemingly been embarrassed of it, seeing that her main 'brand' for the last few years has been a myspace alt girl
