When the pandemic started, I wore pajamas the entire day for a while, and then I transitioned into a style that makes me feel confident while I’m working at home, without thinking of what others would approve of. I have geared my appearance towards comfort: sports bra, bralette, or no bra, only wash my hair maybe 2–3 times a week, as opposed to daily.
I like to express myself even when nobody is around. It’s a good feeling to dress for myself and to let my creative energy out.
I like to express myself even when nobody is around. It’s a good feeling to dress for myself and to let my creative energy out. And this vibe has translated into my style even when I do go out into public.
I feel I’m a lot more connected to my body (through using Flo). I have the time to sit and think about it, whereas before, I didn’t even have the time to eat. The pandemic has really given me the space to sit with myself and feel comfortable with my body and my mind.
I really miss my life from before, but I’m grateful for the things I’ve learned during this time. It is tough to say what will happen when everything is over, as I have no idea what my life is going to be like. But I hope that I will be able to take this sense of groundedness and consciousness into the hectic pace of post-pandemic life.
