What Lives Beneath the Veil?

Music, nature, fashion, reading, dancing, and adventure are all vital pieces of my identity. How do you connect with yourself apart from your assumed relationship to the world based off of your appearance? I've been needing to return to this place, and funny enough, I recently found a 'Self care Recipe Card' I'd once written three years ago, and felt led into an inner experience that speaks higher volume than who I appear to be on the outside.

With references from "Yucky Blucky Fruitcake" (both the song by Docheii, and the book by Barbara Park), "Little Weirds" by Jenny Slate, "The Book of Delights" by Ross Gay, and notes from Stevie Wonder, this week is a dive into the parts of our identities that do not have much to do with race, sexuality, or class, but simple personal interests that help us make up our lives as we go.
