“I have realized that you can close yourself
off to life if you put walls up, but it’s a difficult thing. You can’t see
over, people can’t see in, and you also can’t see out. So I’ve gotten
quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it’s
not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them.”
-Kristen Stewart
Being a jeans and sneakers kind of a girl, even
in 2014 and especially in you are in your 20’s, is considered as unfeminine and
you get called a tomboy, more than a few thousand times. I have always been
extremely shy and un-opinionated which makes me come across as a bit aloof. My
friends grew into extroverted girly-girls and I waited patiently for that
latent feminine gene in me to kick-start. I was the only girl left in my entire
group who continued to dress outside the confines of stereotypical feminine
style. While my friends were happily slapping on makeup and walking around in
stilettos, I was still trying to figure out how to apply eyeliner without
taking my eye out. Then a couple of years ago, all of that changed. I stopped
trying to be what everyone else expected me to be and decided to be myself.
Très cheesy, I know. What had caused that change? Kristen Stewart.
