Authenticity Is a Filter

You're not everyone's cup of tea.

Stop acting like that's a problem.

The truth is ... If you're actually built for something real...

Some people are supposed to be offended.

Some people are supposed to distance themselves.

Some people are supposed to misunderstand you.

You don't even speak their language anymore.

There is a massive difference between who others think you are supposed to be ... and who you actually are.

Authenticity is a filter.

Show them the real you.

The right people will show up and the wrong people will go.

When you step up into who you are meant to be...

The people who felt more comfortable with a weaker, smaller you will take it personally.

They'll say you're arrogant.

They'll say you changed.

They'll call it whatever they need to avoid facing themselves.

Good.

That's their problem.

If you're lucky...

They'll take it personally enough to leave you the fuck alone.

Stop holding it back and let it rip.

Show these motherfuckers who you really are.

...and let them choke on their assumptions about you.
