Harper Booth Haase
October 24, 1999 – ????
These are the two things that I can confidently say define me. After that, it gets a little mushy. I know what you’re thinking: i’m having an identity crisis. Well, you’re probably right. Instead of mulling around my house wondering how to harness my identity, I decided to start a blog. I come here to escape the world of definitions and boxes and trying to fit in or wondering if I fully belong in this category or that. This is mine, and no one tells me what I am supposed to do with it but me.
I have always been someone who fits in enough to be liked, but not enough to be included; someone who is different enough to feel like an outcast but not enough to live on the island of misfit toys. I’m a little bit of everything and not entirely anything– I reside in the inbetween, the grey area. I myself, however, am not grey. I am all the colors combined and I choose which color to be each month, each week, each day, and each hour. My colors change constantly, though my personality remains the same… I don’t know how to define it though. I always wonder what defines me– is it what I wear? Is it what I say? Is it how I treat others? Is it how I act alone? Is it how I act around strangers? How I act around friends? What I do? What I think? What others think I am? All these questions can get a little suffocating when they run in circles. So what do I do with it? Trash it all. I get rid of all those things I think define me and create my own definition of myself. I am Harper and everything else and nothing else.
Undefined is here to create a community of inbetweeners: a community where the only thing to shape us is our fluidity. The only requirement is that you let go of any expectations of what someone should be. Forget what you think a woman should be, what you think an outcast looks like, what you think an artist creates, and any other boxes in which you think people belong. Ditch the definitions you hold in your mind and allow the inbetweeners the space to be fluid, to craft an identity that is solely their own. No one here fits in and no one stands alone.
Welcome, inbetweener. Lets get cookin
