Agreed! I'm on the rails of a personal life's road.
I do the things I need to, keeping my sanity. Collaboration, cooperation with personal identity maintenance means keeping a flair for what I am, what I want to be, what I want the world to see. My life is too short to worry too much about how other's see me.
In the end we are all individuals, just like every one else. I avoid places and situations that infringe on others rights, especially where they are too boneheaded to understand tolerant acceptance (and a great dirty raft of those words the U.S. Executive Branch are attempting to cloud or remove from written opinions.)
For me, emotional and physical safety are kingpins of my reality. i just do it in a skirt or slacks and sweater set.
Couch your experience in a life well lived. Consider that we are social animals after all is said and don't do well truly alone. Find your balance in your village. Try try try not to force yourselves on others. Your reality is what will matter most.
