In examining whether to appear perfect or be authentic, we ask ourselves: what is love, and how do we create it? In seeing the breadth of myself in another, the competence and fear, the passion and inadequacy, and vice versa, an existential barrier is shattered. In that moment, the fear of dying, the purported clarity of impotence, and the sorrow of existence is washed away by an ocean of connectivity. The ocean isn’t perfect, its depths full of both tragedy and beauty; but it serves a fundamental purpose, providing all of us with the oxygen needed to sustain us.
Authenticity is about being true to who you are, even when everyone around you wants you to be someone else… To become authentic we require a thirst for freedom…
To be nobody but myself-in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make me somebody else-means to fight the hardest battle any human can fight, and never stop fighting
Never apologize for what you feel. It's like saying sorry for being real.
No legacy is so rich as honesty… THANK YOU BRO AND OF COURSE MOM!
