Are you living an authentic you?

I thought I was but one day, I looked at my reflection in the mirror and realized that I wasn't!

I'm genuinely happy when I read a new book, I like to work out and eat properly ( I feel good afterwards), but even knowing what made me happy.. I allowed myself to be unhappy becuase of external issues outside of myself!

I've been going through the proper channels to live a more authentic me... I've lost a few people along the way but it's ok, I've accepted this.
These people were obstructions to me living a more authentic me.

Right now, at this moment... I'm moving toward the person I was meant to be.

It feels pretty damn good!

Good for you teebee

Same here, moving towards what I am meant to be. It was a long road but the rewards are grand.

Ditto to you both - it's a process, I've learnt that I do not have to keep giving reasons for the why? and the how come? too....................good luck to us ................

Thank you
I totally agree! It's a tough and sometimes lonely road, but I'm feeling the rewards already!

It is sometimes difficult but also a must. I too have removed people from my life. I need good vibes not bad to become the best ME I can be.

..Yes.. the one and only beautiful me
. often duplicated.
but never replicated..
.. oh yes Milo says.
. all him all the time.. 24 /7.. pure .grrrrrr.wooff...

Also, Being my authentic self has helped in this " dating" process...
As I have maintained, I'm not ready to date.

Until I satisfy myself and where I want to be mentally, physically, spritually... No one will be able to give me that.

Only I can.


Ok,... I needed to verbalize what I was feeling.

Thanks for listening fellow minglers

... verbalize..mmmm.mmmmm...ohhhh...lol.. no its still coming teebee..ohh.. that doesn't sound right..lmsao:

I think we sometimes forget to love ourselves too.

Guess it's why as teebee said - we need to vocalize, refocus, then look inwards .......

Good for you and wishing you much happiness

I am Me! Just still learning and maturing into the individual that is Me completely.

I think it's a process to find out who and what the real you is all about and what you came here to do, what your purpose in this life is.
And I think that process is called "life".

Mostly the real us gets clouded during childhood and once we're adults we can work our way through these issues, learn and grow towards being pure and authentic. Not everyone does though, it takes guts.
The way I see it, getting divorced is part of that process. It takes baws to step out of a relationship that doesn't serve us anymore. It takes baws to recover if someone dumps you and courage to see that the divorce exactly was the right thing, even though it hurt like he|| at the time!
That's why I don't really have problems with ppl divorcing, even though the rates are high. It's part of finding out who we are, where we belong, what we should do, and who can be the right partner for us during those processes.

In the end society as an entity will become more authentic, less 'keeping up appearances' BS, less having to do things that don't feel right, because it's expected (demanded) of us by society.

To the OP:
Y'up, all me these days. Learning about the things I want to know about the world. Challenging myself to understand those things I didn't understand earlier.
If it were different I'm pretty sure that it would be un-comfortable.
:)

I was very unhappy and I couldn't agree with a lot of things. People were praying for my happines and someday I said to myself that now the most important is friendship. If you look for love to fast- you can lose this 'love' very fast.

Teebee, wouldn't you be happier moving toward a Melmacian?

i'm good enough, i'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me...
