What if the person you are becoming is the result if everything you once thought would destroy you?
I've come to believe that life doesn't always break us to make us stronger. Sometimes it simply reveals what was already inside us. The parts we buried to survive. The truths we avoided because they were uncomfortable.... - nat...
A highly engaged community shows that you're doing it the right way. So many have huge followings but don't have much engagement. And if you can be authentic and vulnerable, that's even better.... - Godless Guru...
Good to see that you overcame the false notion that exemplifying transparency and dedication doesn’t automatically cause others to follow. That some or most others follow is to be desired, but still not realistic, for we really only see desirable attributes in others and... - JenniferT...

And when I say "learn," it could mean learn that you're brilliant, dull minded, open minded, opinionated, or simply just talking out of your a*s. So many today just wing it and repeat slogans when challenged, following blindly into wherever it takes them, without any substantial or legitimate proof...and I tend to use run-on sentences to ensure you get bored. 😁byHeather...
Your authenticity and self awareness are impressive. You present as someone with life experience that knows their flaws but uses their experience to help others.

When you meet someone new, how much of the real you do you share up front, and how much do you hold back until trust is earned?
It depends on the person. I like to assess personality traits, intelligence level, moral character, and the ability to see things from another perspective. Once I sum everything up I decide how much, and what I want to share.... - adogg1987...
Good evening (2141) my time, anyhow. New to this platform and definitely enjoy the mission of the purpose. Authenticity over just noise that is useless and not based upon evidence.
