so what is individuality?
individuality is the differentiating characteristics between others that makes them special, in regards to who they are as people.
what makes you an individual?
i love to:
travel.
cook.
stay up to date on the BillBoard Hot 100 (taylor swift's, 'midnights,' is doing so well!).
watch fashion shows.
try on clothing.
shop for jewelry.
your interests make you important. forgetting these attributes is dangerous. we live a life on planet earth where it is absolutely crucial to remember what makes you, YOU.
motivation
what are we here for?
this question haunts.
we are born with NO REASON! this is something that makes life so much more enjoyable! we breathe everyday for the sole purpose that we were given an opportunity to create OUR OWN purpose!
it is refreshing.
addiction and mental illness
hi.
this is an uncomfortable topic.
i am aware of this.
however, it is something that needs to be talked about. in severe detail.
like ive said a million times, i am reagan.
reagan is someone who loves creativity and expression.
most of the time, people think of creativity and expression as something
that comes in the form of something beautiful and large and wonderful.
what a lot of people do not understand, though, is that it is much more than
that. it is what makes somebody who they are. the goods, the bads, the ins, the
outs, the sadness, the anger, the ugly, and the mania. it all is a step during the
creative and expressive process.
as ive grown, ive learned to accept the horrible hand in which ive been dealt. to be
quite honest, i grew up with addiction that was much more prevalent than i wish
it would have been. nevertheless, it helped me become the person i am today.
as an individual, i have been across the world with mental illness and addiction. it is
something that will haunt me for the rest of my life, but something that i will not let define me.
the important thing in regard to healing is understanding self regulation. self regulation
helps those in need realize their faults, and what they need to do in order to make a
healthy and positive change within their lives. for me, overdosing several times helped me
realize my potential and the power i have to do better. being addicted to substances plays
a major role in your overall mental health, and your mental health can play a major role in
the abuse of substances. there is a very fine line that many people do not understand within
this issue.
being addicted to a substance does not make you a bad, unproductive, or worthless person,
which is very controversial. however, if you've never been an addict, you would never understand
the war that battles itself everyday in others' heads while fighting the addiction itself. one addiction is
not worse than another.
it is you vs. the substance.
which sucks.
who knows when to stop? it's always, "one more time. i am done."
but you are NEVER done.
never.
not until you take the step.
it is an elongated death wish.
but it can all stop.
there is hope. there is so much hope.
you can get help, or you can do it yourself. tough love towards yourself is
the only way you can truly make a difference. nobody in this world can do
it for yourself. you have to do it for you. for YOU.
please. realize this is not the end. this isnt.
you are worth all of the stars in the universe, plus some.
to the moon.
what defines fashion?
fashion is the description of oneself in the way that nothing matters besides your authentic being.
for example, i describe myself through fashion.
i wear clothes that do not make much sense; i wear things that have really have no correlation. in the picture to the right, i am wearing a crop top with baggy jeans, and loafers that 'old men' would wear, with smiley face socks...
no correlation. things that simply go together because it is individualistic.
fashion does not have to fit a societal standard.
in the fashion world, within the different fashion shows and award shows,
such as Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton Fashion, Vogue Fashion, and more, their
models depict certain themes each show that do not fit 'trends' or 'stigmas,'
and are truly authentic in the way that everybody takes part in their own relation
to the theme, and they pick their own part.
a major controversy within the fashion scene was Kim Kardashian, who wore Marilyn
Monroe's dress, when she sang, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," to John F.
Kennedy. She wore this dress at the Met Gala in 2022, and many people were upset
with the fact that she wore this dress, because Marilyn Monroe was one of the most
beloved and famous human beings of all, and many people believed she deserved to
be rested in peace; however, Kim Kardashian was paying homage to her existence, and
appreciating her fashion sense, and her role in the media.
the way i love myself is different; i do not love myself for the perfections or interests of myself, rather i love myself for my imperfections. i love myself for what can be changed, because just like a single piece of writing, something can always be fixed. having things to work on about yourself makes you more motivated. being more motivated leads to extensive self evaluation, which can mentally and physically create a safer place in your head. it can open up doors for you like never before, because the manifestations created from self love are insane. being apart of your own life, truly apart; participating and engaging, can make worlds of a difference.
