So you're probably wondering why does he call himself a freak? It's such a horrible word. But let me ask you this: Why is freak viewed from a negative standpoint and not a positive and judgement-free one? Is it because society portrays "freak" as this word that defines someone that is outcast or has no sense of belonging? This is a norm that we have allowed ourselves to give in to.
The purpose of this blog is to show that the word FREAK can be, not only empowering, but also a sense of freedom of what your heart desired for so long. Also for people who are afraid of being a Freak- those that truly want to, but feel that they can't speak up.
I'm a natural-born freak who refuses to hide any longer in the shadow of shame or fear; I choose to show who and what I am. There was a time in my life when I would fear to show the freak in me. Mostly because I didn't think there was a place of belonging and I worried about how people around me would judge me for not being in society's norm.
So for years I hid the freak within me. Yes I would play and get my rocks off, but there was something missing from all of this. It was like a part of me was trying to break free from torment; wearing a mask that could no longer hold me. I began to let my freak out little by little over time, but it wasn't until Ariana Grande's album "Dangerous Woman" debut in the Summer of 2016. It dawn on me that one of my favorite artist of all time had a freaky side, and she wasn't afraid to let the world know. There is a quote that she once said that truly inspired me to let my Freak (the real me) out, to full completion: "To me, a Dangerous Woman is someone who's not afraid to take a stand, be herself, and to be honest."
Freak to me, is someone that is able to be free and empowered by what they truly desire in life, as well as themselves. Without fear, judgement of others, or hiding there their true self to the world.
Ask yourself: "Are you tired of living a lie or do you want to change and let yourself be free?
Hey FREAK, BE FREE!
