My Quest for Authenticity and Freedom

This is the first blog I have done on any forum, under any topic. If there is a set of "blog rules" somewhere, I have no idea what they are.

The purpose of this (for me) is to have a place to share the thoughts and feelings I experience as I uncover parts of myself I've kept hidden for so long. I've spent a good portion of my life hiding any parts of myself that I thought were unacceptable, and I was so good at it that I even hid those parts from myself.

As I have begun to constantly and consistently aim for deeper authenticity I feel as though I have been given an immense amount of freedom. Freedom to not only know deep parts of me, but to love them too. Freedom to truly see others and love them too.

For me, this is an online journal of sorts...a place to hash it all out. But even still, I welcome feedback. And if my literary meanderings provide some sort of benefit to you by my sharing, then I am glad :)
