I’ve found that my ‘default mode’ is less authentically ‘me’ and more ‘whatever keeps the peace/makes people like me.’ Which only works for a little while.
Eventually, I lose touch with who I am, and everyone gets resentful, and things fall apart. So I’m trying to be more conscious of tuning in and acting on what lights me up. So far, I’m finding more joy and peace than I have in ages.
