I don't know where else to put this, I feel like it doesn't fit anywhere, but I need an answer.

I'm going to turn 20 in less then a month. I hate getting older. It depresses me. I wouldn't mind so bad if I could still be myself, and that's the problem. I'm not sure if I can. I dress in mostly black. Tall black boots, black leather jacket, black skinny jeans, black graphic t-shirt, black eyeliner. You get the idea. I never considered myself "emo" before. I rarely ever even thought the word. But recently it was brought to my attention just how much I fit the stereotype. From my taste in music, right down to my self harm and over sensitivity.

I love the way I dress. I picked my clothes, one piece at a time. Never trying for a "look" but buying what I liked. But now that I realize that I'm actually the definition of emo, I feel like I have to stop. People tell me I'm thin, and look younger then I am, so that helps, but do I have to change myself since I'm almost 20? Or is it okay to be an "emo" adult?
