I’ve often had other yoga colleagues wonder how I made it so so far in Ashtanga yoga. They say it with a laugh, and knowing wink. The truth is that deep inside we’re all zebras in a room full of horses. I like to think that I’m a unicorn in a room full of zebras. But I know its all just drag. There’s only one of us here anyway. What I think my colleauges really mean is “you look like you’re having a lot of fun with this identity.” I get where they’re coming from— you’re not supposed to overly identify with this experience. Sometimes I think they just can’t fathom that you might have fun with a constructed identity and be able to let go of it. Ask any drag queen the second best part of getting into drag. Getting out of it. It’s the paradox between “be yourself because everyone else’s taken” and “ life is too important to be taken seriously. ”
