Find Your Culture and Make a Statement

Love yourself, you’re perfect 

My whole life I’ve just thought some clothes were for boys and some clothes were just for girls. Until high school started and I started to see more and more people dress however they want. Such as on the internet, in school, on the streets, etc. and the more I saw it the more I loved it. I want people to see now that this is the 21st Century and you should be able to dress and look however you want and everyone should just accept it. It's more than just an angry opinion this thought could change the world if you let it.

I said to myself one day that I should make a fashion line starring clothes for anyone to wear and that it shouldn’t just be favored to one gender because it’s how you want to express yourself and if you love yourself why not flaunt it? I’ve gotten to the point where I’m extremely tired of hearing people say “oh that’s for boys and that’s for girls” like people need to educate themselves and know that any type of clothes are for anyone it doesn’t matter what you identify as. I would love to see more people being free and enjoying their skin and loving themselves.

That’s why I would love to make a fashion line for those people that feel like they can’t be themselves and I just want to hear people say “those clothes are for me” or even “those clothes aren’t for me” I just don’t want to hear the famous saying “that’s for boys” because nothing is just for one set of gender. It’s sad to think that in this world people judge you for being you. Acceptance is what most people want in this world and if you got it, it makes you feel even more good about yourself.

It makes people want to look up to you and know that you’re the one that’s doing what you love and you don’t care about what anybody says about you or to you. Be true to yourself and know your worth. Not everybody has to like what you stand for but if you love what you do and how you are then that shouldn’t stop you from anything. Especially if your family and friends support you. Love yourself and be the best version of yourself.

I refuse to stop until my voice is heard. I will not give up on people that need help accepting themselves and people in this world shouldn’t give up on them either. You have the right to be heard and you have the right to wear whatever you like. Doesn’t matter where you go, people will be trolls, but you just have to ignore them and do you. Show the confidence everyone wants to have because you know in heart you’re doing the right thing and you’re making a statement for the world.

Just the fact that people might accept you is the start of an amazing feeling that everyone wants to feel. Being different is something that you should never be ashamed of because being different means being unique and being unique is a quality that not everyone has so you should embrace your awesomeness. Everyone wants to be heard, but not everyone wants to speak up for themselves and show people that they’re worth being listened to.

The whole point of wanting to be heard is to share your opinion and not want people to downgrade what you say. But in the world we live in now, people don’t care about your feelings. This generation is so messed up that you get judged and trolled for sharing your opinions and expressing yourself. Be that person everyone wants to be and look up to and never give up on yourself. Believe that you can accomplish anything if you work hard for it. Never give up on yourself because one day you might be the one giving inspirational speeches about how to just be you and you might be the one helping other people about loving and being themselves.
