It's basically the same thing you were talking about. Just having to force yourself to be honest to have real relationships.

Sara... I loooooove that! I relate to that. How raw and beautiful.

That is my thing with lying. I became so good at it, I would do it for no reason other than it was easier. I started trying to practice radical honesty when I was in my early twenties. I still screw up sometimes, but I will try to immediately say 'Im sorry, that was a lie, and I felt like I needed to do that because'. It forces me to be authentic with people which is really hard for me sometimes, but if I want to be accepted I have to be vulnerable.

I think I didn't reach that goal until about 7 years ago. It required taking myself to business networking events, and plugging myself as ME. (i'm an entrepreneuer). Terrifying. But it worked.

Same. But it became its own handicap. Eventually, I was only comfortable while pretending to be someone else. And I was good at it. Too good. I had to quit and figure out how to be comfortable being myself around others.

Drama class was one of the few bright spots in my childhood. I could be someone else, and show my talents without feeling like I was showing off. I loved every minute of it.

Taking no action makes me intensely uncomfortable. For my own self as well as for larger issues. When I was about 13... I learned that I had to do scary things to overcome challenges. At that time, I was handicapped with shyness (waiters couldn't hear my order at restaurants). So, I signed myself up for drama class. I continued issuing myself similar challenges, and continue to still. It's how I calm my nerves. Diving into the deep end.

It is so freeing when you find someone, or some place that lets you be you. I cry all the time now, just because I'm so relieved. I was never a cryer really.

Sara

Oh man, that has to be scary, J.

The first time I pulled up here, people waved and said hi... I was like Holy Crap!

Yup, moving to Cali was when I was finally accepted. For everything. Something too accepted. (hello, stalker!? ugh!)
