Tell Everybody What It Is

Table of Contents

Have you ever listened to the radio and felt like the music was speaking to you? As in, it was just the right song, saying just what you need at just the right time?

A couple of clicks apart from each other this week, social media gave me just the right wisdom, and at just the right time.

“You’ve only one thing to offer the world which nobody else can give, and that’s yourself. So you tell everybody what it is.” Quentin Crisp

(I could write a book on how Mr. Crisp’s quote moved me.)

And then:

“TRAUMA SAYS:

I need to hide my true self to fit in.

HEALING SAYS:

If being myself means I don’t fit in, then I’m trying to fit myself into the wrong spaces.

Authenticity attracts genuine connections, and being true to myself fosters deeper relationships.”
