At 31, a tussle with the femininity [and maybe lack-thereof] of my face.

If you made it this far, you've seen who I've been.
My mom very early on named this photo essay Lía Buscando a Lía,
which translates to "Lía Searching for Lía."
I never really liked that name, but she had already understood something. In 2010, I named it Incongruence. It wasn't until 2019 that I reached the Eureka in response to a (then ever-present) 'what's wrong?' in my head. And in the process of putting together this essay, I understood its purpose, and the way it ties together all the things I remember being. When this all started, It's true that I was searching for something. But I wouldn't say it was myself. I think instead I was looking for a part of me that wasn't me. I invite you to observe it again, scrolling upwards, and watch me learn to unravel.

Si llegaste aquí, has visto quién fui.
Mi madre, desde muy temprano, llamó a este ensayo Lía Buscando a Lía. A mí nunca me encantó ese nombre, pero ella ya había entendido algo. En el 2010, lo llamé Incongruencia. No fue hasta el 2019 que alcancé la Eureka en respuesta a un (en ese momento, constante) 'qué anda mal?' en mi cabeza. Y en el proceso de juntar estas fotos para hacer este ensayo, he entendido su propósito y he visto la forma en la que ata todo lo que recuerdo haber sido. Cuando comenzó esto, es cierto que estaba buscando algo. Pero yo no diría que a mí misma. Sino creo que estaba buscando una parte de mí que no era mía.Te invito a que lo observes de nuevo, de abajo hacia arriba, para verme aprender a desenredarme.
Gracias
