Good morning everyone!
Well today I awoke with tons on my mind.
First it was a song. This song.
Then it went to thoughts about a topic of conversation yesterday that actually came up with two different people and a couple of blogs on here kinda fold into it.. I am the type of person that if something comes up 3 or more times in a day I pay attention.
Well that topic was labels. So I started to really think about and realized that my hangup in my journey are the labels. When talking with the people yesterday I referred to some blogs that were made that actually got a lot of attention and it was about a label.
The only labels that I have ever truly identified with and don't mind using are misfits, weirdo, crazy, freak, outcast, and yes I don't care if I am called a bitch ( because most the times that just means I spoke my truth that hit a cord in you that you didn't want hit or anyone to notice, your bad not mine). So I asked one of the people I was talking to " why have labels and one label holds a bad connotation, shouldn't it be changed?" They brought it to my attention that it is human nature to want to self identify. That no matter what group there is people just feel the need to come up with a word or two that they can identify with because of the need/ want to fit in and identify. Which I get that. I used the above mentioned labels..i then followed up that question with " if in the lifestyle we already say that we are all the above mentioned labels isn't that because we didn't clearly fit any label? ...
That's when it hit me..
I get labels are there so people can find likeminded people. So that they can put categories to their kinks and find those who match them.
The problem for me...
I don't clearly fit any of them. I have tendencies, but I don't clear cut fit any..
I tell people all the time " I can be either Alice or Harley, the one you meet truly depends on you."
Which brings me to the second person I had a conversation with. We were talking about things I would be capable of doing and I at one point made that statement. From their point of view and perspective and the context of conversation made me see that comment in a completely different light than I had before.
So I came to the conclusion at least for me. Labels ( just like any other word) are not always clear cut. Each person holds a different connotation to any given word based off of their own perspective, experience, and emotion attachment to that word..i even found a word in the dictionary that had 4 different definition and none of them were close to meaning the same thing.
So for me the only thing I can say is " I am who I am!"
I fit many different things, yet nothing all at the same time.
You know what, that's just the way I like it.
I don't see it as I don't fit in anywhere. I see it as the sky is the limit because I can be a bit of everything!
May you all have the most amazing Sunday!
Much love light and happiness!
