We fear being ourselves in case we push people away, but that’s the whole point of authenticity and finding ‘your people’. Wouldn’t you rather be a HELL YES to a small group of people who vibe you, that a ‘meh’ to a world of people you’re sacrificing your truth in order to please?

Authenticity is underrated

Herbert Bayard Swope once said : « I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody. » I definitely feel like it’s fucking time to teach kids to embrace their uniqueness and to respect others’. It’s tragic to see so many adults trying to blend in and feeling miserable at the same time. We are not born to please others and stay quiet. We are there to live our life at the fullest. So forget about fitting in and make yourself a favour by being you!
