Labels

“Girls should wear Pink.
Boys should wear Blue.
Girls must wear dresses,
And boys need to wear suits.”

Many times we fall into the labels society puts in place for us. It takes a a big person to look past them and say “I am who I am, and like what I like.”

My 9 year old daughter, Leah, decided as soon as she turned 8 that she hated pink, skirts, dresses, and anything girly. At first, I wasn’t okay with it because I was stuck within what society instilled in me. After some time (& research) I realized that I was best I let her assume her own identity. She could only accomplish this by having my support, so that’s exactly what I did. Support her.

She’s a happy little human being that doesn’t understands labels yet and I wasn’t going to be the one to place them on her the way society placed them for me.

This is Leah. She’s 9 years old and her favorite color is blue. On her free time she enjoys watching tiktok videos and playing call of duty and fortnite. 💙
