“When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with.” – Anais Nin
Don’t live like this. Always be real. Always be yourself.
Who you are is beautiful.
And the world needs the real, authentic you.
Don’t change and alter to fit into a mould. Don’t change and alter to suit other people.
You will die inside if you can’t be who you are.
Don’t hide your truth. Don’t do this to yourself.
If you feel you need to change to be accepted, to belong, then you need to move on. It is time to change your tribe.
Don't Lose Hope

Beautiful! I know no other way. It’s a risk though. I think some people are threatened by authenticity.
