Create what you love. Say what you believe. Don’t confine your work or your ideas to mere conformity with the opinions others have of you. Bend yourself only in the direction of truth as it becomes clear to you. The world is starved of the authenticity each of us can bring into it. 💜🫂

That‘s why I nostr.. Didn‘t feel this on any other platform.
All that you have is your soul.
Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she want to spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I thought, thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Here I am I'm waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Oh my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she want to spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul
All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul
Amen🙏
Align yourself with nature and you’ll find it empowers you to naturally become your authentic self.
the most fascinating thing about modern times is knowing that people are learning from each other in a way that might seem unnatural to older generations, but so many interesting and good things have come from it.
grateful for all those who BUILD STUFF 💜
Authenticity is a revolutionary act in a world addicted to masks. The challenge isn’t just creating what you love, but having the courage to stand by it when the world resists. How do you keep yourself from bending to the weight of expectation?
For me I think by never stopping and never losing the momentum.
Once you “learn” to really be authentic in life, it feels so fucking amazing that you can easily resist external pressure (who the hell wants to give up this feeling of pure peace and ecstasy?! and for what? To be like you, who are clearly not happy?).
But sometimes I lose the momentum (can’t do the activities that fuel me, I get isolated from like minded ppl, an event in my life throws me off), lose that feeling of authenticity, and when I try to get it back I am weak initially to external pressure, takes me a while to get back on top.
I guess I need to improve in consistency.
What’s yours?
For me, it’s about embracing the ebb and flow. Authenticity isn’t a straight road—it’s a cycle. Sometimes you’re on fire, sometimes you’re lost in the fog. The key is trusting that the fire always comes back if you keep moving. The world will try to shake you, but the real ones know: momentum isn’t about never falling, it’s about always getting back up. 🫶😉🏴☠️
Really well said, breaking from conformity and thinking you can do something is very powerful and inspiring
