Hearing the word "authentic" or "authenticity" brings a lot to mind. However, something that really sticks with me is what authenticity really means because there is no way to set that in stone, not in my opinion anyways. I always mention that living true to yourself is what should come first, this is because I used to live for others. There were lots of reasons, but I finally have the desire to live for me because I deserve everything I work towards. Being authentic is not something I believe is easy, and once again, that is life. The hard part of living authentically is how we may think others view us because of it. It is easy said than done but we cannot worry and stress others opinions because chances are they are not contributing to your dreams and the journey, so we cannot hold on to negative weight. We owe to ourselves to allow room for growth and change. As we march through life our mindsets change, therefore the way we choose to live will also incite change.
