“An intersection is a point where two lines or streets cross. I consider myself a creative person and I felt like I needed to step out of my comfort zone in order be able to express that side of me”
How it Started
I consider myself a creative person, so I needed to step out of my comfort zone in order to express that side of me. So, one day I decided to give myself a little “self-confidence” test and went to work in an outfit I chose that I felt expressed myself. To my surprise I got so many compliments and it boosted my confidence.
I passed my test!
After that day I decided to never doubt or be self-conscious about expressing myself however I like because I put myself through the hardest test and experienced something only I could have done for myself and I’m so thankful for that experience. I hope this back story inspires you to always do what you love and believe is true to you and never be afraid to show that to the world! Taking a step out of your comfort zone can really change how you see certain things, so do it for you.
Meaning behind the Caution Stripes
There was a coffee shop I use to always go to and there was construction going on across the road from it. Naturally there are big yellow and black striped blocks to restrict entry. I always caught myself looking at them. With time these stripes came to have great sentimental value to me. They helped construct who I was becoming. To me, they helped me realized that in order to become who I wanted to be, I needed to do some reconstruction. Its’ a whole process similar to renovation in my opinion, and it perfectly represents the transformation I went through.
Updating My Page Layout
The beginning layout of when I first started out was not reflecting my personality or the thoughts and ideas I use to have. Also, I was currently switching from my old outfit styles to my new ones so I felt that it was fitting to also match my Instagram layout with the same creativity and direction I wanted to go.
I brought in the intersection lines and started posting them with a background of my favorite things/movies/shows after every 9 posts to show more of my personality which looked really cool. The intersections are there to always remind me of where I was and where I wanted to be. They remind me of the coffee shop I use to sit and look at the construction site that was being built. These intersection lines became a part of me. Now you know the story behind them and their significance to me!
