Being Me

Why be who you are?
It is a struggle everyday in authenticity to be who you are but it is very helpful for self-fulfilling prophecy to be even more excited and ecstatic to be more in tune with yourself each and every day. I am sassy and so are some of my friends but if they weren't they wouldn't be authentic. You have to be who you are everyday.
Is it stronger to be who you are if you like it?
Yes, I believe so. You have to be in touch with yourself to be stronger and feeling self-assured and listening to how you think of yourself vs. others. It helps to not only be confident but also be willing to be vulnerable. This type of strength is necessary for fulfillment and can not only strengthen the hope and heart of the person but also how they can strengthen yourself through each other.
Am I ever satisfied with how I can see myself through the other person?
Without taking up the rest of the page, it depends on the person and where they are at. I feel most myself around individuals who can freely be stronger with and I don't see myself around individuals who are limiting that often.
Who am I?
Ian James Bott a man of many talents and a huge heart for people among other things.
