Today I’m wearing a black sweatshirt that has long been a frequent flyer in my wardrobe for one particular reason, it is embellished with one single word across its front... Real. For me this is a powerful statement, one of most important reminders on my personal journey. That reminder is that above being liked, above being understood or accepted I must simply be my realest, most authentic self. I am a firm believer that authenticity paves the way for divine splendor and personal fulfillment. Assimilation is a sure fire way to drown in disappointment. Another mental link this sweatshirt creates for me is to the song Real by Kendrick Lamar, one of my all time favorite songs by one of my favorite artists. This song always reminds me of my power place found in realness. It reminds me that to be myself is to be a powerhouse, a Goddess and Creator of cosmic proportions. I absolutely love the lyrics “look in the mirror & know I’m there.” It reminds me of the importance of looking past the physical self and looking straight into the depths of the soul found within ones eyes. Naturally, today’s Alien Aesthetic is dedicated to being real af.
