Hi people,
thanks for showing up.
As I’ve expressed before, I seek inspiration in Art, artists, genuine real people, not necessarily from “influencers” on the internet.
Sometimes inspirational people come as comfort, I’ll explain. Growing up in a small town, in a small country back in the days with no internet, if you didn’t fit the cookie cutter stereotype, you would feel lost. I felt lost, I simply had no references for what I felt, what I wanted to express, how I wanted to dress. This is why representativeness matters.
Growing up, traveling, the internet, etc, helped me a lot with my restlessness. Now I know I am not alone in my aesthetic, that I am not so far fetched, that other people express themselves in similar styles to mine.
Recently I discovered a new artist (for me at least) that I have been obsessing. Her artistic name is 070Shake and she is a rapper. I am very happy because I’ve bought tickets to see her live this November, if the virus allows us. Can’t wait to hear her raspy voice. https://twitter.com/070shake?lang=en
I really like her style because I can see a bit of my younger self in her. I like the way she carries herself, the way she moves her body, love her artistry, her voice. Plus I have a huge crush for females that accept and navigate their masculinity so well, like she does.
I was a boyish girl, always being asked “why can’t you be like other girls?” and this broke me for years. Now I understand the people surrounding me at the time, didn’t have the tools to understand why I was like “that”.
A work in progress is to continue to love myself and to accept my femininity, my masculinity and everything in between. To accept that I am one of Gods creations and God loves me the way I am, because She made me. So I love to find other human beings similar to me, knowing that in all Gods greatness we are not “mistakes”.
Dear reader, I hope you find your path and you can accept yourself the way you are, as you’re perfect.
My name is Franca and this is personal!
