Despite what most people think, we are all influenced by the people around us. On top of that is pop culture and the inescapable formative years that shape who we fundamentally are. Staying true to yourself amid all the conflict can be a tricky path.
For me, time alone reaffirms my position and recharges my ability to tell the rest of the world to fuck off. On my run this morning I realised that I will never again let someone take away who I am. I am beginning to believe that I am worthy of more. I am not willing to settle for less than the best but I will not sacrifice who I am to get it. If people don't like me as I am they can move on. I am swiftly moving to the point where I no longer need validation from other people. I know that when I get to that point I have reached authenticity.
