it is hard but you're aware of the noise and possibility of interference between your true self and whatever else is going on around you and that's the most important part IMO 🤙 I think the "by staying true even when we're shamed into being false" is a very relatable part of the quote these days. So many people trying to push so much shit onto our plate all the time.
as you say being aware of the noise and interference will help you stay true to yourself.
so many people try to stay true to themselves but easily fall victim to being false in order to fit in - which i find very sad. it’s happening to young children earlier and earlier. a lot of this has to do with the environment we’re in.
i remember reading about that when we’re young we’re taught to fit in but when we get older, in order to succeed, we need to stand out. so we in a way become trapped in societies norms without realising it. i hope more and more people realise it, and find a way back to staying honest with themselves
