3. Your undertaking known as ‘Ser Libre’. What does freedom imply to you?
Freedom means for me to have the ability to be who I need and really feel I’m at this second with out situations or impositions with the identical rights as all individuals. Our id is like water, it’s in fixed motion and alter so long as it flows and doesn’t stay nonetheless. Freedom is what permits me to proceed being – with out freedom we don’t exist.
I usually keep in mind my childhood, adolescence and a part of my grownup life, which have been taken from me in so many varieties. I had completely happy moments and so they weren’t precisely troublesome instances, however that was as a result of I needed to camouflage myself for years as somebody I used to be not, adopting an id that was not mine. It’s so troublesome to really feel out of this world, to really feel completely different and excluded, to not discover illustration anyplace, responsible ourselves and torment ourselves for our method of feeling or being. As human beings, we instinctively search social connection, the need to slot in, and be a part of a group. Within the absence of such connection, we frequently adapt or camouflage ourselves into one thing we do not resonate with, simply to “be a part of this world.”
My freedom started by leaving heterosexuality as a system: not solely the sexual orientation, but in addition the complicated system that dictates our lives and methods of relating and feeling. I see my undertaking ‘Ser libre’ as a channel by which I might combine experiences from my complete life. It allowed me to heal the injuries of my previous and to lastly be the particular person I wish to be. It additionally made me conscious that my id course of is evolutionary and non-binary.
Within the tales and experiences of my buddies and acquaintances is the place I discovered myself, and at last really feel my freedom.
