I love this post! Our individualism is what makes us unique and memorable to others. In addition, it is so satisfying when we feel confident enough to be ourselves, whether good or bad at something! Thanks so much for the great reminder. Cindy Rae
Great post. I rarely used to be myself when I was younger, but as I’ve aged, I no longer give a damn what people think, and thoroughly enjoy myself being creative or out in the natural world whenever I can. You’ve put your thoughts in a much nicer frame than I have.
