What was the root to being a tomboy and what did it mean to me? Was it a way to understand myself better or to hide from the world? Maybe the simple answer is that as a young girl, growing up with three older brothers was a beautiful challenge. I observed how other young girls my age showed up in the world, but maybe I was too in tune to how my brothers behaved and dressed.I think it must have been a transition period before I really came into my truest self, and so on and so forth, continuing to grow.
