The Choice I Made for Myself

•

God created feelings but forgot to give a handbook along with them. Now, who will tell me who I am supposed to love, can she be of same sex as mine? Does she have to look like all those girls from the magazines? What if I upset God by choosing the wrong person to love. I can't seem to satisfy the criteria created by the society. I don't fit into their perfect fairy tales, because apparently only strong and handsome guys can make a girl like me happy. So here I am making these decisions for myself. Why do I care so much about fitting in? Forget about love, what if I don't feel like myself in my owm body.

This project is a series of digital painting showing the acceptance of ones own sexuality and gender. For some, the circumstances of life are hard. They live their lives on others term, and spend everyday fighting themselves. Sometimes people accept that they are who the people expect them to be and it is okay!
