Being Authentic. An Observation.
I'll preface this by saying say that a lot of my opinions do not jive with a popular or mainstream perspective. However, I've always been a reflective person who has put a lot of emphasis and effort into understanding and assessing myself, analyzing my flaws and developing practices so to improve upon things that I think are weaknesses that need to be addressed. One of the things I have been focused on developing over a number of years is expressing my thoughts and opinions despite the reaction or popularity of those thoughts and opinions. It's interesting how many times a day I see on social media posts about living your authentic self, expressing your truth and accepting everyone for who they. It would seem to me that everyone is on board with at least some of the same practices that I also try to implement in my life. It would seem that I am incorrect in this assumption. What I've noticed though is an interesting circumstance of being authentic....
