What Makes You, Feel You?

For as long as I can remember I have always been that quiet, awkward girl. Preferring to observe and listen, than to go on and participate. The thought of doing so always scared me and it still does till this day. Every now and then it does get a bit harder to deal with, but I try my best to keep going. We can't all be perfect.

At some point in my life, I want to say right after high school, I found the world of fashion. It was a realm where I could truly express myself through what I was wearing without the need of having to speak to anyone. Through what I chose to wear, I could give others a sense of who I was and I began to feel more comfortable with my being. In some way, I had found my calling. I guess what I'm trying to say is that finding a way to express myself through what I wore has helped me get a better sense of who I am and has made me less afraid to present myself to a group of people. I can walk in and say I'm here without saying a word.

I usually dress according to how I feel, so for today I wanted to wear something simple and comfortable since I was feeling pretty neutral. I've never really managed dressing womanly-like and not sure if I ever will. But I guess that's who I am and.... possibly my awkward inner child still looking to make a friend and place in this world.
