Radical self expression
As a woman in this day and age so many people are pushing "free the nipple" and ending body shaming. But what about us women who just want to express ourselves however we would like. Wherever we like? I am apart of the burning man culture. Where radical self expression ranges so widely. Pure full nudity is a form of expression. But the past three years I was in a relationship where even pasties were a no no and Lord forbid I show anything mid drift or any part of my chest. I wasn't allowed to go swimming in groups of people let alone go anywhere. But how do you feel about this.
When a partner is unable to be confident standing by your side. And you doing your thing and them supporting this. Then stop the relationship. I'm not saying every woman wants to express themselves this way. Or radically dress or plain and simple do whatever the fuck they want with their body. After all the time I spent tucking myself away I noticed I lost my spark as a human being. I let my body go not that it's actually that bad. But I stopped caring about myself to ease their mind. I stopped expressing myself how I needed to dressing. Makeup. Rainbows furs and fucking glitter. I will forever be that person. But now I have to rebuild myself to even have that confidence. I have a very long road to travel and to get back to where I was as a person. I am an artist and and I used to hula hoop every day. And go to the lake every weekend. I have missed myself. But I think I eventually will be able to be back to myself. What are your views of this subject. Are you confident enough to stop all worries of what your friends or family will think of what your partner is doing or dressing like or expressing themselves as? Are you confident to allow them to do as they please with confidence and stand and support them in weak moments. Or will you judge them and make them feel as if they need to be a completely different person than they are? Are you able to love them and set yourself aside so they can blossom or will you snip them at the stem and place them in a vase? 
Your right about not being in that relationship. There are insecurities he needs to work out first. For woman and what they express... I just think there is a line not to cross with what is shown in public. Loved reading your post!
There is absolutely a line for public! U can't go out daily in a carnival costume lol. But being able to wear platform boots and radical makeup and radical hair. I miss it. Toning myself down for so long makes me feel like I'm too old to do it now. But look at baddie Winkle lol she's my hero! I totally understand you can't go out looking like a stripper (I was one. Not dogging it) I just miss being myself
Sounds like a toxic relationship. I'm glad to hear you're at a point where you can explore self expression again without someone trying to control you though! At my current point in life I refrain from dressing too crazy all that often, but it's mostly because I ran out of fucks to give. Occasionally for an event or something I'm all about it though, and am glad to have a partner that is on board with that. I think it's really important in any relationship to be supportive and while there may be boundaries it should never get to the point of obsessive control.
Exactly! A healthy expression. It's not like I wanted to run around with my boobs out. I have class. And sewing skills like what and tend to just have fun with things. And I'm glad to be able to get back into making outfits and wearing them without someone looking down on me. Like there's nothing wrong with wearing platforms every single day! Or suspenders with shorts! Like I miss being a club kid. Minus the extras! I enjoy to wild expressions people use. As for yes I am in my 30s now and I do dress down alot more just because coziness. But I'm still inside me and I can't change that. And I love who I am. Wildly expressive and happy to be so. I've played down my makeup covered myself up for three years like damn I want to let the world know I'm alive inside. And I didnt die over the past three years!
