i struggle with this in my day to day life. i mostly exist feeling the world around me through a translucent shelter. this feeling is another me, in a way. they seek to deflect reality from me to some degree, for my own sake. they always know what they should say and when they should say it. they know when silence is appropriate. but, they can only speak for me. and i for them. we are one, but we’ve grown used to operating as a pair all too well. i allow them to guide me through 80% of my life because operating Me is exhausting. mfw im forced to exist in present day america as someone who is probably autistic, probably a trans girl, and probably won’t be certain of either for years to come dadadadada whatever u get it. all that to say this is me practicing being radically honest. so fuck what y’all think (<3) bc i’m real. which brings me to my final point. regardless of whether u want to be me (or anyone else), you can’t. you’re you. and you’re just as real, so fuck what i think (<3).

it makes things so much easier? to just be myself??? I LOVE BEING A REAL PERSON!
i am so much more okay with people not liking me for my innate being than not liking the fake persona i have created.
a fake personality is somewhat like a piece of art. it hurts when someone criticizes your child. your creation.
you can hurt me tho! it’s alright
something to unpack in the future perhaps..
perfectly imperfect :)

been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame.
being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

It would be hypocritical from me to say i don’t follow trends, quite the opposite some of them can really be interesting and i “follow” them but i have no desire to fit in.
Everyday i embrace my soul, my heart and my mind because it took me years to be the Me of today and as an individual it’s totally normal to be unique in my own way.
I am unapologetically myself, no matter how much “trouble” it gets me with people i don’t care. To be put in a box just to fit in or follow the “rules” was never something that i tolerated nor could handle.
I value self reliance and resent depending on someone
I am selective when it comes to socialising because i prefer being alone than having small talk
I question everything to be convinced before i accept it or do it
I am assertive, i express my needs, opinions and boundaries even if it means leading to a conflict with someone
I dont care about social pressure, i believe anyone can achieve anything at any age
I don’t care about approval
I am always open to learn new stuff and never afraid to be seen as “uneducated“ during the process
I don’t wanna copy.
I am me, if i wanna read a kid’a book i will, if i wanna paint a tomato i will, if i wanna learn Russian i will, if i wanna wear a blazer with sweatpants because I think it looks good ON ME i WILL, me is ME and you is YOU.
Etc…
