Authenticity: The courage to be yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that happens when you learn to love who you are. When I look back on my life, a lot has changed. I have changed. It’s been a journey of learning how to love myself unconditionally through it all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know who I am and what makes me happy. I used to be afraid to follow my heart but now it's all I know how to do. Sure, being "different" isn't always easy, but why would I put myself in a position that satisfies others and not myself?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I choose to own all of who I am. And all of who I am is far from perfect.. but it’s me. If we deny parts of who we are and just hustle for other people’s approval, we will never be happy. Perfection is exhausting because hustling is exhausting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember; nothing perfect has cracks in it. And cracks are the only way light gets in. Own who you are; cracks and all.

If there is any post you read today; let it be this one.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How much time have you spent on your phone since this quarantine started? How much time have you truly spent alone?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I don't mean alone as in "social distancing".. I mean alone... with 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A lot of us are unable to spend quiet time alone. We fill every waking moment with talking on the phone, video chatting, watching TV or scrolling on social media. Be real with yourself.... 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This quarantine has forced us into a state of isolation. And instead of facing the parts of ourselves that are emerging from the shadows, we feel compelled to fill any silent gaps with activity or conversation. (Hey, trust me👋 I get it)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But when do this, we are preventing ourselves from having our own story because we are too busy immersing ourselves in everyone else's. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Or we are constantly trying to fill up our "to-do" list so we can stay busy and distract ourselves from this silence. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I encourage you to start giving yourself silent-time every day, even if it's for a few moments. No phone, no conversations, no music, no television, etc. Just yourself.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This quarantine is allowing us to rip away the crutches we have been using to walk for most of our lives. And, yes, at first it will be scary. It will uncomfortable, you may fall a few times and feel unbalanced.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But that is how you grow and learn to fall in love with your true inner self. Those crutches are everything of your external world. We are being invited to finally let those crutches go and get to know we 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 are without them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To find peace, you must go beyond the world. All this other noise around you is blocking your experience of peace; of God. Maybe it's those crutches that have been blocking you all this time.
