To heck with traditional values of a gender-fluid world. Life is about the freedom to be anyone you want to be. You don’t have to be a celebrity, or mature age or anything else that may hold you back to live in your truth. Start small and express your truth in your walk of life. The people who are truly there to support you will step forward and take you by the hand to be there to make sure you never fall. That is why fashion can be just as powerful as words. It’s the non-communicative way of showing the world who you are.
Self-expression is the first step into a brighter tomorrow not only for the world but for yourself. If you show your surroundings you’re comfortable in the way you present yourself. The world can either accept it or they can move out the way because it’s coming whether the world is ready to accept it or not.

So I say stand up and light your own way and let the world follow your light, so you can be the next inspiration to light up the world.
