(living) authentically.

this has been one of the guiding focuses as of lately. more so that I am currently going through the process of being diagnosed with adhd. this diagnosis has been earth shattering for me. it has thrown me into the whirlpool of 'what is authentic to me?’

I have always wondered why I didn’t fit in. this now has shown why this feeling has always surrounded me.

why I just couldn’t go with the ‘flow’ (it just wasn’t my flow). why I saw things from such a different perspective from my peers. why. why. why.

so at 25, I am sat here in my local coffee shop in my new city reflecting on what is authentic to me. this question has always been there, but now it is refined to a reason why my path is different from my peers; one might argue who are my peers really are?

I think there is nothing more scary yet fulfilling as starting fresh and reigniting your true self. I wish I had the confidence years ago to step out and be honest with myself. though I couldn’t be more proud of myself for starting now.

I turn the script to you now.

how are you living? are you living for that version of you that brings you joy and happiness that could never be filled by others, that job, or that place?

follow that gut instinct. anything that has ever been good in your life has been on the other side of you living your truth, which is being you.
