Why is it so important to be who you are? Why is it so easy to dole out this advice here, and both on social media (I mean, instagram is swimming in motivational quotes) but so few people are true to themselves?
Or, are the people that we conjecture to be "fake" are actually being real? What's being real?
They only power you can truly control is self, and wanting someone or something to shift in a direction that is opposite to them is not staying true to this principal.
If you find yourself frustrated by phoniness and fake people, ask yourself, why am I trying to exert control over this person? Maybe, just maybe we should be more focused on our own conditions and growth instead of being upset by the nature of how someone else is living. I accept people as they present themselves to me. I have no wish for someone to believe the way that i do, or improve or "humble" themselves to my standards. Anyone is free to speak their mind or feel their feelings; however the consequence may be other's removing themselves from you because they oppose it. So before you turn a nose up at someone's way of life, educational level, or stance in life--know that your judgement is a reflective mirror. Love comes back as equally as hate.
I think that artist know this, it's why we are so sensitive. It is why painting is so maddening, because we are baring our souls and baring to the world what has been absorbed. We want you to see, but not judge.
