It's time for you to live authentically

What's the matter with your life? Is the poverty bringing you down? Is the mailman jerking you 'round? Did he put your million dollar check In someone else's box? The musical genius of Prince will live forever. As a fan, I'm in several social media groups that pay homage to His Royal Badness. Unfortunately,  one of the groups was infiltrated by several impersonators. Very scary looking, muscle bound men with flair. When the Purple Family got finished  with them, they started trolling. Prince even squared off imitators as he said " anyone who plays me is playing themselves", The whole mess could have been avoided if they came in as fans rather than scavengers of attention. Then it hit me💥💥💥 Who do we pretend to be? What is the public persona vs the at home individual? Do you code switch? Do you change your voice based on who you're speaking to? How many filters do you use on your photos? How recent are your profile pics? Let's face it. There are roles we play everyday, but how close is that to the real you? Interviewers always ask this question of character actors. There is always the search for truth and knowledge.  Often, people suffer from Imposter Syndrome when stretching beyond the norm. Criminals always look over their shoulder to see when they'll get caught. So why stress? Why worry? Why not try being your authentic self? The world needs more individuals, not herds or clusters. Prince was an individual who can never be duplicated. So just do you. Nobody can be you but you.  So be the best you that you can be. Are you ready to live authentically? Can you be in the moment with yourself?  Does living your truth excite you? Or frighten you? Share your comments below.  Thanks for stopping by.  Stay safe, warm, and healthy.. Take Care and God Bless!!!
