So, I haven't written in a long, long time. But today I needed to share something amazing. I am not an Omelet, I am a breakfast quiche! I have tried so hard all of my life to be an omelet, to be what I thought everyone wanted me to be. I am not that person. I am not an omelet...not that everyone wanted me to be, but it was what I perceived. I like to project my fears and ideas onto other people, and then I use it to control myself.
But today I decided that I want to be a breakfast quiche. Why, you may ask. Because I have always been one, and it is time to show it off. I am going to discover me.
I decided that I like feeling feminine, but I don't feel feminine dressed like my sisters, I feel like I am playing dress up. But I felt feminine in my choir dress that had a corset top, and my prom dress, which also had a corset top. I feel like a girl when I wear heels, and boots. I like wearing make-up--sometimes, but not always.
I am allowed to like corsets and lace up jeans, or floor length dresses. I am going to allow myself to be me. I can't change who I am, but I can learn to love who I am. Why? Because I am an amazing person! I can be funny, and ridiculous. I like vampires! And Fantasy worlds. I love LDS romance novels. I love to write silly romances. I love belly dancing, and Zumba. I love to sing--loudly! I love my friends and my sisters but I am not them, and I don't have to be. I am allowed to be whatever I want to be. And that is WONDERFUL!!!
Very well put, Alexis! I need to be better at the very same thing.
