Isn't it strange, how our general sense of self, and people and the world around us has been so subtly forged in countless little ways, it has got our self preservation shields on the perpetual defensive.
To such a degree, that few are barely, if ever their true, open, authentic, honest-to-goodness actual selves.
We are programed to automatically shield, retain, protect, hide, disguise, cover and deflect so much of ourselves, that we are barely even conscious we are preventing ourselves from being.
How have we come to such a point that our once-logical and instinctual efforts to protect ourselves, has come to work against us as we go through our allotted days without ever coming close to being our full and complete selves?
Who is benefiting by having us all behave unnaturally, if not us?
Or is this every one's loss across the board?
How much will one never know, if they never find it in themselves to stop in their dead tracks, and say hang-on here, too much of me is going unknown.
Until we unwrap and unfurl our authentic selves and relearn how to articulate all, and who we are, we will never fly free that is our complete, complex, deeply interesting, diverse selves.
We are all - all that.
Yet we withhold so much from ourselves - as with all others.
How has this non-way-of-living, become the way to live?
Do not allow yourself to get to the point where you forget yourself along the way.
To be anything less than authentic yourself, is not to be.
