  1. What does it mean to be authentic?

    Open Mentions asked, What does it mean to be authentic?

    There is always a temptation to polish things a little. To present a slightly glammed-up version of reality. Maybe even to present things as you wish they were rather than how they really are.

    Social media makes this temptation so much stronger. Everyone else is living their best life but you, it seems.

    That’s why simple honesty – not hiding the lumps and bumps of life – is so appealing. An authentic person, in this context, gives you the unvarnished truth. They share the failings as well as their success. That’s attractive to people.

    They say when you write, all you have to do is open a vein and bleed. I’d say that is true of many facets of life. When I hear talk of authentic people, that brave honesty is what I think of.

    What about you?

  2. ...I'm seeing hints of a Courtney who went to ground decades ago. I'm trying to be patient with her and not scare her off as she creeps cautiously out of hiding.

    In the meantime, there's a whisper of her in that pic up there. Maybe you see her, too.

    ✌️❤️🖖🤘
