Authentic

Authenticity is my passion. I just want to discover what I was born to be, what I can learn, even through failure. What I am can be found when I am alone but also when others allow me the privilege to peek into the window of their soul. When they want to see me for I am. That is love on top for me.

More important then achievement, success, castles, empires because to discover this elusive element in life makes me feel rich and healthy. I am bored with pretense, ostentation, bigotry, ignorance and bragging about what I have, what I want, how I want it. Simply tell me who you are and that is inspiring.

In the past, I have been patient to wait for people in institutions to be themselves. But I have concluded for most people that it is more comfortable just protecting the church, business, family, marriage, club, team, clique whatever than to go through the discomfort of self discovery. Feelings can overwhelm. The paradox is that if you ignore them, we are living in self-defeat. For the person who ignores self-discovery is like sitting inside a vehicle with no interest to drive it.

The context is just like the song. Love on top.
