This is exactly what I’m aspiring towards! I’m so tired of faking it. Faking a certain personality, faking who I am, just to please others and meet expectations that aren’t my own.

I think I’ve become a much more authentic person over the last year in particular, deciding to say exactly what I mean and be exactly who I am, despite my fear.

I’ve come to realize that doing this is more important than anything else, even if it means losing people.

It’s difficult though, so I do understand why so many of us aren’t authentic to ourselves!
