then let freaks, beautiful freaks, fill this world!

October 28, 2017, Night of the Halloween....
Halloween,
oh where do I begin? The annual celebration of the night of horrors are ought
to scare the living. With ghost stories, horror films, and paranormal
documentations filling up tv channels, this time of the year is one to spook! But
more than its spooky nature, often times Halloween becomes an avenue for people
to fully express themselves without the fear of being judged, without the fear
of being ostracized for being a freak. I see that power in Halloween. As spooky
as its nature is, it has this sense of unifying people for letting their freak flag
fly. And I’m one for that.
Just on
the 28th of October, I became a witness of a night bombarded by
beautiful freaks; freaks embracing their individuality, freaks being fearless,
and freaks being their freaky selves. Chunked up in a four-walled hall, with
the latest tunes being blasted across the room, it was not only a night meant
to spook, but it was also a night everyone embraced their uniqueness. Clad in
the most creative, most funky; the sexiest, weirdest costumes everyone became a
character of their personality. It was rather fun and encouraging seeing girls
in adult versions of Disney princesses, guys in dresses (i.e. a group of men
came as the Powerpuff girls), and members of the community I’m apart of- the
LGBTQ in the fiercest get-up. It was fun in a sense that everyone got out of
their way to be fully creative, tapped into their resources to meet an aspired
look or character. Encouraging in a way, that everyone just doesn’t give a shit
of what people have to say; be it guys in dresses, girls in obscene clothing, people
being individuals, and individuals being unique. No one just seems to care what
you are or who you are for as long as you enjoy the night. Sad how in reality
our world isn’t like that and if I could only wish for a year filled with
nights of Halloween I would. No! Not to spook or to scare, but so everyone
could live a life of liberty and expression, without being casted as a certain stereotype
or being judged in general. If freaks be constructed upon us, then let freaks,
beautiful freaks, fill this world!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN BOWLS!
