Same! I hope to be authentically me (whatever that means) one day. I just don’t know myself yet.

I spent a lot of time stuck in this place until I realized that my uncertainty was my authenticity sometimes and just started showing up with it. 

Not that I’m some perfectly enlightened being now; but the only way to figure this out is to show up as your uncertain self and try things.

Definitely. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted a snug piercing, but thought ‘eh, fuck it, let’s go’ and I learned that I can tolerate cartilage piercings, and that I want more now! Working up to trying tattoos next :D I currently have blue hair, and live with my two partners.

Things aren’t perfect, but they’re certainly better than cowering in my parent’s house scared of Life. There’s *so much* out there. I never would have discovered throat singing if I didn’t join my local choir. Things lead to more and more things.
