Expressing Your Identity

Masculinity. Femininity. These concepts of gender and presentation are ingrained within our society. It’s a basic binary that has us categorized before we even take our first breath. Simultaneously, it’s a silent yet deafeningly loud expectation of who we should become and how we should do it. But really, how can anyone be just one thing when we all contain such multitudes? Within all of us exists energies which are constantly shifting. As you grow and change, anchoring in your identity is important. Not the identity that is placed upon you, but the one you discover. It doesn’t need to be static. 

Traditional concepts can only take you so far. Limited spaces will only allow you to grow so much. Dare yourself to take up the space you need to be who you are. When you begin to blur lines, you start to break barriers. How much more could we all be? How much beauty is there to be uncovered when one chooses to embody their authenticity and not who they were told to be? Come dive in. Art lends itself as a safe space for you to lean in, experiment and play. Your journey is inspiring, raw and necessary. You deserve to feel safe. You deserve to be celebrated. You deserve to shine. Let yourself drift into unchartered waters of a self that is free of judgment and societal confines. You look incredible when you are bold.
