I know it’s corny but it’s genuinely so freeing to just do what you like. In the last year I started to really embrace my gender identity especially with my physical appearance. Being able to freely dress as you please and express yourself is so incredibly freeing. My confidence has sky rocketed. Being willing to express yourself regardless of societal pressure to appear a strict way. Be out there be bold!!!

i constantly have to remind myself that i have just as much of a right to be in spaces as other people do. i think a lot of my issues with taking up space came from feelings of guilt and shame that started when i was a kid. as i’ve gotten older i’ve realized that i haven’t done anything wrong and don’t need to feel that way. challenging those thoughts for me usually looks like joining conversations that spike my interest and actively participating, going to events that i like even though i might not feel like they’re made for me (like concerts where the crowd is 80% men), and by dressing how i want to. my clothes are a huge reflection of me and for a long time i was afraid to wear what i wanted because of how my body would be perceived. however, i noticed i’m much more comfortable when i’m in clothes that i like, so now i wear what makes me feel happy and that’s improved my mood in general. you don’t need to feel shame or guilt. you deserve to be happy and enjoy your life and take up as much space as you’d like :)

don’t get me wrong, having a label is great for some people and if you find community and strength in identifying some way, more power to you. but I’ve felt ten times more empowered to express myself in exploratory ways when I stopped thinking that I had to be a passing so-and-so in order to do that! Or that I needed to experience or eschew certain things before identifying with a sexual label! Happy pride month you beautiful people

I am so happy that people nowadays are realizing the value of being authentically themselves away from following trends. I love seeing the physically manifestation of self through people's whimsical outfits, the way they decorate their rooms, their music playlists and etc. I think being you attracts great things, opportunities, and people that are meant to make your life better!

This years pride will be a bit more difficult compared to the last couple years but HAPPY PRIDE! Celebrate with the people you love and the people that care for you. this year especially we need to stick together as a community with the rise of homophobia and especially the rise of transphobia. a special reminder that our community is built off the work of the black trans community and the black trans women that have fought for all of our rights. respect one another as that is all we can do right now. happy pride and be safe! <3
