To hell with perfection, with self-improvement. I want to be authentic. Being authentic means being ME, being my best self, without fear, without withholding, without inhibitions. Becoming authentic is a process of elimination. Eliminate the fear, the bullshit, the nervous ticks, the autopilot responses. I will make mistakes. I will step on toes and piss people off. But by allowing my true self to come out, at least I will be ME.
