Authentic
I have been writhing within myself for the last few days between the person I need to become vs the person I am. Things happen sometime that question what is necessary to be able to live in the world. Is there something called “giving too much”, “loving too much” or “caring too much”?! Is there something called too direct and too innocent that one is too naive to live in the world where sometimes people say what they do not mean or show what is not within their chest?! Do I need to worry about being misunderstood?
I thought to myself that I need to be stronger, a bit colder, less caring and learning to measure what I say, and detach myself as well as create boundaries to live within a stronger independent self that is maybe a bit more selfish that it does not get hurt or it does not allow any within the walls of what belongs to it.
Unhappy that would be, I realise.
The person I am is the person I need. Give as much as you wish, love as much as you wish, care as much as you care and smile and dance and play and be a child if you wish or a serious adult when you feel like it. Say what comes within your heart if it is kind and do only what you believe in. Do not worry about being misunderstood, as you know your own intentions. By all means be measured and create boundaries when you need to, but do not change yourself. Show a little of who you are or cover up but make sure that whatever you show is true and real and is exactly who you are.
Just be true to yourself. Make it better when you can but always be real. Do not worry about the world. Accept hurt as a price for authenticity & originality.
