Uniquity!

I am weird. Totally, completely odd. People look at me weird in the street and people I don't even know yell stuff at me at college.
How to respond to it? It'd be so easy for me to tone it down, so easy for me to put away the lipstick and get out the lip balm, put away the foundation and just use concealer. But I really can't, my androgyny isn't as much a style choice as a attitude and lifestyle, for me to put away the teal lipstick (yes, Illamasqua) and the purple eyeshadow would feel to me like hiding my sexuality.
I don't know if anyone else (boy, girl, old, young) feels the same way, like you're hiding who you are and want to be.
I feel like I've been doing this, and I want to change. I've been really consciously been thinking about who I want to be, what I want to achieve and on an aesthetic beauty level, what I want to look like. These thoughts have spearheaded into me launching my own 'renewal' process over the summer.
I'm going back to college next week as a new person, I'll hopefully look different, be a more loving, optimistic and truthful version of who I was.
I hope this post might make you think a little bit about who you are and and what you want to be, I'd love to someday live in a world where everyone is exactly who they want to be!
I will be doing an other post on the more aesthetic side of this in the next couple of days.

Yours Uniquely x
