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 :)

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!

Honestly the best way to reinvent yourself is just to live. Being in a new place with new people will expose you to so many amazing things you never would have been aware off if you stayed at home. Big tip is to just try things, figure out what you like without the pressure of feeling like you have to keep up a performance! try new outfit styles, new hair do, new clubs and hobbies just get out there and experience everything! It’s freeing I can promise you. Slightly scary at times but the best thing I was ever told was feel the fear and do it anyway.
