we ain’t apologizing for authenticity!

i am who i am and you are who you are, right? so it is what it is, and it ain’t what it ain’t! that leaves us with two main options: either we keep it real about who we are, standing in this wild space of radical self-acceptance and authenticity, or we conform to some other way of being, stepping outside of alignment and betraying our own hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits.

now, i’ve done it—many times. sacrificing my own inner guidance to please some man, a friend, or a job that i thought was giving me the security i needed. but let me tell you right now, that didn’t get me too far.
