April Lockhart

April Lockhart is a born on July 4th, 1995. As a seventh-grade student, she started taking piano and guitar lessons. This ignited her passion for songwriting. The song that she first wrote for April was Different. She wrote it when she was 12 years old. The singer spent much of her hours at the age of 14 creating songs and practicing the music. In the following months she began taking writing excursions with her father in LA in addition to NY. April also began to include other related topics for some of her peers who are dealing in the area of social pressure and teenage suicide as depicted in the song Take my Hand. Lockhart has her own fanbase and works as an online lifestyle blogger for the well-known Ilia Pure Beauty brand. She was born with no left hand. It is what makes her different. However, this isn't the only characteristic of her. Because of this, her Instagram profile doesn't shy away from her disabilities, yet it's not focused on her disability either. What message is it sending? It is not simply our physical body. Our identities are complicated and encompass a variety of elements. Lockhart has stated on video that she doesn't wish to be defined by the condition she has. She doesn't wish to become an advocate for disabled people one who focuses only on it. There are so many aspects to Lockhart. The fact that it's not affecting my everyday life. I go about every day as normal and have found ways to manage the things. It's a huge part of my life, therefore it's important to talk about the subject. Lockhart's self-acceptance journey will be one that lasts for a long time, and she inspires me with regard to this. Still she admits she's gone through a series of phases in her body at times not being confident in wearing particular types of clothes which showed off the arms of her. She now wears any outfit she chooses to and shares pictures of herself in these outfits on the internet with a sense of pride. The self-love she talks about is a journey. I'm not sure if you'll ever get there. It's a trip, but I'm not convinced that you will ever make it to the end. The idea of having people that have a sense of who you are and understand the depths of your soul is vital because they'll also be the people whom you can count on to remind you about what you worrying about?
