I think I am the problem lol.
I’m human! I don’t want to be the odd ball out all the time. Or feel like my style is outdated. I still want to look cool. Therefore, I add pressure onto myself. But truly I’m craving simplicity.
I can’t keep up. I love all the trends on everyone else. It just doesn’t work out for me; which is okay. Doesn’t mean I have to mimic everything.
So now I am asking myself the questions.. well what are you feeling? What do you like? What’s sticking out to you? What does key feel?
To get back to my roots. Like I stated before, simplicity. After struggling with trying to be perfect on the outside. A girl is tired. Lol I feel like that bratz meme.
But truthfully I am. For right now, I desire to be at ease. “As the girls say soft life.” Well my wardrobe wants that! I just want to show up as I am. To just be.
I miss the old times when we weren’t having to try so hard. Now, it seems like everyone has to try to one up each other, trying to create such one of one outfits, out doing the next, and forcefully make fashion statements to stand out. And for me, looking cool isn’t worth chasing something that isn’t even me. We know from the last series that was a fail.
So I can’t fight it anymore.
I may not be liked by the majority but I have to do me. The simple days are calling my name.
The risky part is most the world follow crowds, and I’m stepping out of that so there could be a possibility of being overlooked, called outdated, misunderstood, or even failure. But I am choosing to be authentic and march to the beat of my own drum. Because it’s what I WANT! And It’s not easy! Like I stated earlier, you want to fit in sometimes. Or be part of the cool kids. But I think there is more good that comes with it. You don’t lose yourself in the process of trying to be “it” for everyone else. You’re authentic. And that gets you farther in life. You’re the one thats truly confident! It takes confidence to stay true to yourself and do your own thing.
I desire a long lasting wardrobe, that I can continually add on, not one that I have to change every few months just to be in with the times.
Talk to you soon, Key Lashaye 🖤
