But who are you ?

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…

being yourself & individualism

i think now more than ever, we live in a society where it is normalized to judge others for not following the “trends” or “socially acceptable” things, which has become a big problem for the coming generations. i think people should be their unique, authentic, selves and shouldn’t be afraid of such, because who actually cares ? i mean, yeah, people will probably judge you for it and say rude things, but people will do that anyways, so why not have them say it about something YOU know you love. as long as you know that you like it, then it shouldn’t matter what that one girl thinks about it, because at the end of the day, it’s just someone’s opinion, not an actual truth. if you wanna dress all funky and different, do it !! and do so with confidence .

BEING YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF

I read a TikTok slideshow about how we attach our personalities to the things we buy like Labubu’s, matcha, vintage clothing, etc., etc. and it really woke me up. It made me realize how often we treat objects like identity badges, hoping they’ll somehow communicate who we are to the world. But maybe we don’t need to buy a personality. Maybe it’s okay to just be you without the aesthetic, without the branding, without needing to “match” a vibe. The phrase “to be cringe is to be free” has been living rent-free in my head, and honestly, it resonates. Because at the end of the day, who really cares what other people think? Okay, I do sometimes. I’m human. But when I quiet the noise, I know the truest version of myself isn’t curated, it’s just me. Messy, weird, sincere. And I think that’s enough. We’re not the sum of what we consume. We’re allowed to just exist, unbranded, unfiltered, and still whole. I think I’m not my truest self yet, but I’m getting there and I really do hope my truest self reflects beautifully to the people around me.

beauty in the mundane

What privilege it is to wake up to the beautiful sun rays beaming from my windows to lighten up my room. What privilege is it that these same windows are bringing a beautiful breeze that tickles my body. What privilege that the same beautiful room decorated by sun shine is the same room that brings me comfort and rest. A space where my self can come out safely. What privilege it is to have a self that is actively taking me to places where I can indulge in delicious foods, listen to eargasmic music, acquire knowledge and be engulfed by the beauty of the life. It is these things that make up the root of my existence, the reason to my being. May I continue to indulge in the beautiness of the otherwise mundane.

Individuality final boss

I think the idea of hating on trendy things for the sake of wanting to be seen as different is very corny. I understand that not developing your own sense of style and copying whatever you see on tiktok or ig without adding your personal touch is an indicator of the lack of creativity, but that (imo) doesn't apply to people that genuinely like the item/style...If you for example like sambas or the leopard print baggy jeans and can get multiple uses out of them then that's great! you're not a microtrend final boss if you wear these items...

You unfortunately can't get away with repressing feelings for too long

No matter how hard or uncomfortable it is, you have to sit with them, you have to listen to your voices....And if you have the mental energy to do so, write them down. Often times, the feelings you dismiss as minor end up having the most impact on your overall health (be it mental or physical)....Your body can feel when you're suppressing your emotions and it unfortunately makes you prone to diseases and disorders (believe me, I am currently being diagnosed for crohn's)...You also become more agitated and exhausted without knowing why.... These repressed feelings can be in the form of burn-outs, intrusive thoughts, anxieties, or any strong emotion you face throughout the day. Regardless, you have to address them...
