I was touched beyond words by this post. I sat and cried. I have such a longing for the simple truth, for simply real people, and it seems everything in our culture conspires to discourage us from being authentic. We believe in order to stay safe, to be successful, we have to follow certain rules. Carrying around our armor, our defenses, is so heavy. It takes every bit of our energy and strength and sucks the life out of our creativity. It keeps us very small to stay hidden. Thank you so much for being you and sharing yourself with us. You work inspired mine this week and I linked to you. I am writing for people like you, for people like me, for people who just want to be who they are without fear or concealment. Tell Liz she was wrong. This post is the best thing I've read on Substack since I joined a year ago!
