Let's be vulnerable

Nightly check-in with Samira

Hi my friend, hope you are doing well. I am talking to you today because I feel very vulnerable yet empowered. You may wonder what I am talking about. Well, I have made a decision. My decision is to remove the mask of pretense, that I am the figured it all out type of a person. The reality is I have not figured it out yet but I am on a journey to do that. And I am talking to you candidly and openly because I have decided being open and honest should be a virtue and not a sign of weakness. I am scared releasing my words, my feelings and inner journey out to the world! Like many, I am also scared of how I may be perceived by others. But holding back all the amazing transformation that I experience in me doesn’t feel right either. You know my friend, for many many years I tried to conform to what I thought others expected to see from me. But it didn’t give me peace and happiness. Now, I am exploring the power of me and the liberating sensation of honoring my self and soul and that is something that I believe I need to openly share with the world. Because I know there is someone out there that may be going through a similar journey and may be inspired by my journey! Hiding, covering up and pretending that everything is rosy and beautiful doesn’t help us grow. That is why, I see my fears, I feel my fears, I acknowledge them but for the sake of me and those who may be waiting for these words, I put my words and my authentic self out there. I hope my friend those who listen to my story can appreciate that you can be smart, highly accomplished, own many things yet still trying to figure out the you in yourself. It is okay! The good news is that you can always step into the journey of self discovery and never is not too late. And that if you let the world see the authentic side of you and your struggles, you will attract those who are like you and appreciate you and enrich your life with values you seek and people who share those values. There is no harm! So, my friend, let’s celebrate talking about our real selves! Are you onboard with me? Thanks for being there. I talk to you later!
