You can only be seen when you’re truly yourself. I now realize that the old me often used to feel resentment. I learned it’s because I lacked self-awareness and self-confidence. I kept a facade to only engage with others on a surface level. I now understand that although I had the ability to read people on a deeper level, I wasn’t being authentic about it. I wasn’t brave enough to be honest with others. I ignore other’s deceptions and lies. I allow fake relationships to fester, hence causing resentments later. Slowly and gradually, my core circle of friends and family diminished. I had invested so much in others that I failed to see my own faults. I kept thinking that being kind and superficial was enough. Well, maybe it was enough at that time since my world was so shallow. But now I know my soul craves for deeper connections. I remain quite alone right now, but I’m more at peace and calm. The last time I associated my world with “stress” was at least six months ago. However singular this journey may be, I’m reversing the cycles. I have moved over to the driver’s seat. I have full control of my inner, outer, and higher self. Being autonomous is not lonely as I get to freely roam to wherever I wish to go and at full throttle if I wish to. How this path will unfold, I continue to surrender to the Universe. This I know is that being real means I will only get real back.
