"We grow so accustomed to portraying ourselves to others that in the end we know nothing more of ourselves than the falsehoods we portray.
It takes real courage to be who we truly are, to let go of the shame and fear we mistakenly have about ourselves, about how others may see us. Life is too short and our experiences too few to live a life that was never meant to be our own.
Pretend no longer, dig deep and bravely embrace the person inside, who's been yearning to be free, to be known, to be accepted, to be loved. Life is better when you live it as who you were always meant to be."
My latest writing has been posted. "The Dying Light of Unrequited Love" takes you on a short journey that many of us have set out on and have come to know quite well - having feelings for someone who lures you in with their ambiguity, only to throw you away in the end. Link is in the bio.
I've been quiet on social media for a while, I'll explain all of that next time.

Profile:
I am a Buddhist and writer living in the heartland of America. I grew up on a farm and spent a large amount of time outside and in the woods, a childhood I would not trade for anything. I've been writing since I was 14 years old after a teacher encouraged me to never stop. I am inspired by the works of Thich Nhat Hanh, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Marcus Aurelius, Viktor Frankl, Jane Goodall, Kahlil Gibran, Sam Harris, and the list goes on. I read and write about various topics including Buddhism, suicide awareness and prevention, nature, astronomy, genealogy, behavioral health and psychology, environmentalism, politics, as well as some fictional writing.
