Maintaining Your Essence

Today, the thing I’ve been contemplating is how I am presenting myself in the world. Often, I feel like outside forces try to influence our natural intentions, and if we’re not paying attention, we have a tendency to go with the group. I recognize that it’s important to adapt to a shared understanding when working as a community. Still, one can’t lose their natural instincts in the process. To me, that means always expressing your true essence but being open to confrontation so that you can grow from the experience.
