What It Means to Be Multifaceted in a World That Worships Beigeā¦
Being multifaceted in a bland world was never easy. People claimed to want authenticity, but only if it came in prepackaged simplicity. Complexity made them uncomfortable. Nuance felt threatening. So I became a walking paradoxāintense yet quiet, playful yet philosophical, empathetic yet guarded.
Some people are smooth river stonesāpredictable, shaped gently by the current.
But me? Iām a diamond. Cut by pressure, formed in darkness, unapologetically reflective of everything Iāve lived through. I donāt shine because life was kindāI shine because I refused to crumble.
I came with weather systems. I shifted moods like seasons. And for the longest time, that felt like a problem.
Then entered Gatsby the Great.
He wasnāt just my corgiāhe was my four-legged mirror. Regal in attitude, wildly unbothered by convention, and full of soul packed into a short, glorious frame. Gatsby didnāt ask me to explain my contradictions. He celebrated them.
- When the world felt like static, he curled up beside me like silence finally made gentle.
- When my energy exploded in bursts of chaos and color, he matched it with zoomies and mischief.
- And when I felt invisible, he was always thereāpresent, unshaken, knowing.
Gatsby saw me in ways people didnāt. No masks. No fragments. Just me, messy and magnificent.
He taught me that depth doesnāt need to be diluted to be lovable. That even short kings can carry entire emotional empires in their gaze. That being multifaceted isnāt something to hideāitās something to live out loud.
Though heās no longer beside me, Gatsby remains woven into my layers. In every bold choice, quiet truth, and moment I refuse to flatten myself for someone elseās comfortāheās there. Not just as a memory, but as a legacy of unapologetic authenticity.
And in this world that insists on beige, Iāll keep living as the rare mosaic I amāwith Gatsbyās spirit trotting beside me in eternal, joyful defiance.
Because sometimes, the soulmate who understands your depth doesnāt arrive with roses and vowsāthey show up covered in fur, wide-eyed, loaf-shaped, and wholly ready to embrace every version of you.
