Oh there are SO many times I've felt a little weak when I opened my mouth to speak!!

I'm so glad you had (and have) the inner awareness to notice this: “Trying to be someone I’m not is like the moment after exiting that spinning ride at a carnival: slightly nauseating and completely disorienting.”

And so glad you trusted what you knew!

And even more glad that you share with us (your readers) and encourage us to be our best (and authentic!) selves!!

Every time you are your authentic you on this page and I am lucky enough to witness it, I am changed. “Until I realized I was trying hard to be his best, and had actually felt the strain of being less than my best.”

I think it's absolutely important to challenge our fears and live that authentic version of your life, as you say. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is my take: Write who you are. For a long time I haven't written or talked about my personal life. I thought it was because I had nothing interesting to say. Now I realize it was because I haven't come to terms with some memories. It is fear, and it lurks in my everyday life, or even in my writing. Fear controls my behavior, preventing me from seeing who I really am and living an authentic version of my life. I'm going to challenge my fear, step by step.
