As they say I dont dress to attract or to impress men, but rather to express myself.Their blog often offers writing prompts for their readers to express their views and the following is something I wrote for them. Even though It did not get published, I thought it deserved to be out in the world wide web.
The Style Explanation:
Style is my tether to sanity.
Sanity and normalcy are fickle things.
Hold steadfast to them, or they vanish at a moment’s notice.
All our lives, we depend and discover various ways to hold on to this precious necessity.
Temporary tethers range from schedules and fitness to art and to music and to booze and to dope.
When you find the right way to essentially let your freak flag fly, these temporary tethers are moot.
I let all my insanity flourish through my style and leave my mind to be sane.
The shades of crazy in my head are transferred to the style for the day.
My love for blades axes hammers and guns,sadly in jewelry is perhaps the reason why I don't yield the real things
From wearing shades of fiery red for those days that I wake up in a rage
The black for my dark days
the floral on my spring days
to the muted nudes I wear on my calm days.
These accents are the thing that keeps me sane.
