“In what aspect of your life you were able to show the different sides
of yourself?”
People show their identity through self-expression. They can express themselves
in a variety of ways, including how they dress, what they say, and many forms of artistic
expression. Self-expression refers to the act of expressing how you feel by using your
thoughts and what appeals to you. We can be seen as individuals rather than identical
robots because of our ability to express ourselves.
I'm in a completely different environment when I'm in senior high school, and I'm
free from my parents because I'm a teenager and they want me to explore. I came out
and let the people around me see who I really am. I began to dress in ways that I felt
comfortable in and start applying makeup. I'm grateful since the atmosphere at STI isn't
judgmental. This increased my self-confidence. When I put on makeup, I start feeling
more attractive. It also helps me with my mental health because if I feel uncertain or
anxious, I do my makeup and immediately feel better. This turned into a form of therapy
for me.
