i feel like so many people are so insecure or afraid of what others think of them that they’re afraid to be genuine. it’s easier to be nonchalant because then no one can really judge who you ARE. but like. what’s the point of cultivating relationships if they’re only wanting to spend time with your self crafted persona. if we’re true to ourselves the right people will be attracted to that light :)

Well said! This opens up a whole other discussion on how some many people crave other’s authentic light and end up building their whole personality based on someone else’s.

Onyi_Budds i think a lot of people will try to be who/what they like for awhile before they find themselves. it can be a lil frustrating when you’re out there just doing you tho. humans will be humans i suppose 🤷‍♀️

it makes things so much easier? to just be myself??? I LOVE BEING A REAL PERSON! i am so much more okay with people not liking me for my innate being than not liking the fake persona i have created. a fake personality is somewhat like a piece of art. it hurts when someone criticizes your child. your creation. you can hurt me tho! it’s alright something to unpack in the future perhaps.. perfectly imperfect :)

i think a lot of people are very performative these days and always trying to do a ‘bit’. just be yourself !! the most appealing thing for yourself and others is to be honest about your true self

my life greatly improved when i stopped trying to anticipate what other people expected me to say (i’m pretty bad at it) and started being straightforward and honest about how i feel and what i think. don’t hide behind being nonchalant and ironic! show people how much you do care and who you genuinely are! it’s scary, but makes it much easier to discern who you truly vibe with and remember who you truly are :)

my chameleon died this morning and i buried him in my mom’s backyard. i had a lot of ladders in his cage, he seemed to really like to zip around on em. it was hard to see him lose mobility in his old age, but i like to remember him as a climber. rest in peace mr. princess
