Labels

I was just talking with a buddy about labels and how they sculpt and influence our perceptions. The abel we were specifically talking about was the term 'crush'.

I have spent so much of the past three years ripping my mind open (unlearning) to new possibilities and new ways of thinking and doing and Being that I forget that all of this work has brought me to a place where I can hold society's definition of 'crush' and look at it, nod, grimace and also hold my personal, ever-fluid definition of 'crush'.

And while I can be mindful of identity labels and that the journey of unlearning and that the ability to be able to have multiple definitions co-exisitng, if not peacefully, then at least civilly, is not where everyone else is at.

Hence, why over-comunication is so important.
