Be yourself.
Yes, everyone says it.
But what if you don’t know who yourself is right now?
We change with every purchase, every friendship, every song we play on repeat, every tiny life experience that, turns out, wasn’t tiny at all.
Sometimes you outgrow yourself before you’ve figured out who you’re becoming.
And sometimes, for a second, you just want to escape the person you’ve been and manifest the woman you want to become.
The next version.
The metamorphosis.
Her.
And when you can’t quite visualise who she is yet, maybe the shortest way into the future is to dress like her.
Try her on.
Walk around as her.
See how she moves.
See what she orders.
See how she takes up space.
And maybe you’ll realise…
you fucking like her.
As the wise Rihanna once said:
“Fake it. What other option do you have? Cry yourself to sleep? Who wants that?”
So fake it until it feels familiar.
Then one day, you’ll realise you weren’t faking it anymore.
