I have wanted to work for an elite professional, but what I am finding is that I keep putting constrictions upon myself, knowing that where they are, they cannot even burp without someone having an opinion.
The stress and pressure they are under is likely immense, and I have wanted to be there as a friend and professional in ways to help with this.
But, is the trade off that I cannot be me – pure and honestly?
Media hype has been allowed to become overbloated in unreasonable expectations that people we idolize must meet standards of “perfection.”
To give extreme examples, a person is not considered “good and pure” if they have sensual needs and desires.
A person is not acknowledged as having solid morality if they would never intentionally hurt anybody, but enjoy wit and company of people involved with more extreme scenes (consent on all levels being the key).
What if someone is curious about their own identity and depths of capabilities regarding “vanilla” to “extreme” – in anything from sky diving to what are usually societaly considered “unmentionable” things?
Clearly, there are “wrong” things, like rape, murder, pedophilia. Yet, how is buying up real estate and raising rents so people cannot afford to live less incarceration worthy?
Without going further, the question is about “being allowed” genuine self expression.
I think there should be a “pass” phase where people can wear a pin or something that identifies – with respect and societal acceptance – that they are Exploring.
Something that surely I have deserved after a lifetime of varied degrees of others’ imposed torments negatively affecting and impinging.
Give me room and space, without judgement, to kick loose and just be – without worrying someone will use this time negatively against me and blemish my resume.
We ought to just accept each other as the diversely-expressive humans we are, capable of honor in collaborations while being unabashedly “unfinished.”
The Human Experience is one capable of constant growth and learning. We came here as spirit form into the material to experience such things.
We should back off from so much expectation, and instead learn to listen better, know ourselves more truly, and come clean with our wants and needs.
I am a Fantastic human being.
I am not perfect – though I have ascribed to be.
But, the efforts to be perfect just aren’t paying out, and I need to take care of my needs.
Alone and perfect vs. thriving and imperfect.
Here’s the crux of choosing one’s “authenticity.”
