Boys Don't

Growing up I was always softer than the other boys — swishier, quieter, more expressive — and I was warned that this was not the way boys behave. “Boys don’t draw, and boys don’t sew. Boys don’t care about handwriting or flowers.” Eventually I made a life out of all the things “boys don’t” do. So in between projects, I’ve been hand sewing a couple sequins here and there to make my own sissy punk jacket, because boys like me don't care anymore. ✨
