don’t get me wrong, having a label is great for some people and if you find community and strength in identifying some way, more power to you. but I’ve felt ten times more empowered to express myself in exploratory ways when I stopped thinking that I had to be a passing so-and-so in order to do that! Or that I needed to experience or eschew certain things before identifying with a sexual label! Happy pride month you beautiful people

Express yourself

I know it’s corny but it’s genuinely so freeing to just do what you like. In the last year I started to really embrace my gender identity especially with my physical appearance. Being able to freely dress as you please and express yourself is so incredibly freeing. My confidence has sky rocketed. Being willing to express yourself regardless of societal pressure to appear a strict way. Be out there be bold!!!

being myself

Everyone is unique, but everyone is obsessed with putting themselves in boxes ... it is one thing to curate personal taste, and it's another thing to box yourself into one thing and to have to keep all of your interests inside the box! You aren't a box, you aren't even a shape at all. I enjoy everything and everyone because I am open to enjoying it. Or to not enjoying it. Then I have learned something new about myself. Aaand this is why I love PI.FYI!

LettinG go of the desire to be different Then everyone else

it is so freeing to realize that people liking the same things as me/ being similar to me isn’t a threat and doesn‘t take away from my uniqueness as an individual. connecting with others over shared interests is such a beautiful and necessary part of life.
if everyone had the same mindset that I used to have we would all just be super lonely!
