#fitting perfectly into a niche aesthetic is not expressing your true self idk who told you that

before 2020 i feel like i saw alot more genuine personal style online and irl, so much authentic diversity. now i see so many people putting themselves in tiktok aesthetic boxes and ripping the soul from their external expression, just to project a specific image to the public. this is not what true self expression is. it is so incredibly contrived and sad.
