My Identity
What is my personal identity?
I sometimes like to believe that i cannot be defined
I am a novel,
That is constantly being written.
They are some things that i am very certain of,
One being is my sexuality
and my infatuation with women empowerment.
That is something i know will always remain in me.
I am proud to say that my sexuality shouldnt define the person I am overall,
but it should define my beliefs when it comes to equality, fairness, and societies social construction.
Hispanic and lesbian.
The irony.
According to social constructionism,
I must be very religious
Have to be married before the age of 25
Meet my future husband before i enter college
Be satisfied in knowing that the man will always be in charge
and stay home while watching my multiple children.
Oh the irony.
I’m nothing like those stereotypes
I am more than those labels.
I am me.
And I am proud.
I refuse to let society define who i am,
I refuse to be caged in by what other people categorize me as.
I am a hispanic female
I do not like the idea of conformity
I believe that everyone should build their own identity,
and not allow society to do it for them.
I am a lesbian.
That happens to be a feminist.
I have an outspoken mind,
I am very blunt and honest.
I will be more than a housewife
I will fulfill my happiness by furthering my education
I will travel the world in search of new experiences
and I will not let religious boundaries
or marriage commitments hold me back.
I will be happy
So what is my identity?
I think you have the idea.
