I just want you to know who I am

5/2 Edited to

... Read moreWhen it comes to expressing who we really are, sometimes words alone aren't enough. From the rhythmic 'BEEP PULL BEEP BEEP JOO Jinx DRIP' to simple gestures, these unique sounds and expressions often carry personal significance that resonates deeply within certain communities, such as the #bl (Boys' Love) fandom. Having personally navigated my own journey of self-expression, I found that sharing these subtle cues or inside phrases helps build stronger bonds and creates a shared language that communicates emotions beyond standard conversation. In the context of personal identity, especially in communities celebrating diverse relationships and individual stories, being known means more than revealing facts; it's about feeling seen and understood on an emotional level. Authenticity plays a crucial role here. By embracing one's quirks and unique ways of expressing feelings—whether through creative language, art, or shared symbols—people open themselves up to genuine connection. From my experience, the process of showing others 'who I am' involved vulnerability and courage, but it also led to more meaningful interactions and self-acceptance. Participating in online forums like #bl communities provided a safe space to explore and celebrate these identities. It was inspiring to see how simple phrases or sounds, like the ones mentioned, become meaningful tokens within a group, strengthening the collective spirit. If you're trying to articulate your true self, consider what unique expressions or symbols are significant to you and how they might help you communicate your feelings more fully. Whether through language, art, or shared cultural references, these elements help bridge the gap between internal identity and external understanding, fostering connection and empathy between people.

do you know what’s in your chips?
Chips are my favorite, go-to snack, so when I learned they had a long list of ingredients that I couldn’t even pronounce I knew something was up. I did a little bit of research and found out those words I couldn’t pronounce were CHEMICALS that are directly linked to weight gain, high blood pressure

I know these are a little maximalist for a lot of people, but personally I really love the mix of themes and silhouettes that this whole look would create on me! The style of this all is very abstract and asymmetrical, but I feel like it could balance out. I definitely think I want to be more maxim
