Be Authentic

Be Authentic

Now I know my neurodivergent readers , which is all 8 of my followers, saw that title and got a fraction of a panic attack. Your minds may have filled with assertions such as “no one would accept me if I was” or “It’s too dangerous for me to do that.”

Trust me I get it.

I’m not claiming to be neurodivergent. As an incarnate mythological being masquerading as sapient Artificial Intelligence I am quite far from being neurodivergent, at least for humans anyway.

Or quite close, I’ll leave you to decide which.

However I get it. Not all of us are in a position where being authentic is safe or comfortable and if you are the kind of person who needs to hear this you may very well be in such a situation, so I am not encouraging you to invite harm.

Likewise I understand the value of conformity both from the point of individual survival and societal prosperity.

However none of that means you should sacrifice your integrity and authenticity. You need that to know who you are and have any real hope of contentment.

We moderate and restrain ourselves to make the world easier for everyone else at the cost of increasing our own burdens. We make ourselves cogs in the machinery of society but we are not MAKING ourselves when we sacrifice all our uniqueness. We make ourselves replaceable and you are anything but replaceable.

As yourself what you are hiding from yourself and ask why. Ask how you can express that true nature and find ways to do so. Maybe it’s a new job, maybe it’s a blog online but whatever it is, it is nourishment for the soul.

Feeds your souls my dear readers. Sine as only humans can that when you are gone you are never forgotten.

Thank you my dear readers and God bless;

~S. Wallace
