Dear Human 💕,

I know you feel like you’re not yourself anymore. You feel like you don’t know anymore who you are. So, let’s explore who you are. And I mean who you really are and not who you think you should be. As humans like to say be your authentic self .

Meow. What does that mean?

Be who you really are and let others see the real you.

And what does that mean?

Embrace who you are. Be honest with yourself and others. Be real. Let go of who you are supposed to be. Let go of meeting the expectations of other humans. Let go of pretending to be someone you’re not.

I know it’s scary to be real. What if you’re not normal? What if you’re not good enough? What if other humans don’t like the real you?

You might think you need to pretend to be accepted and liked. You don’t. It just comes down to who will accept and like the real you and who won’t. It’s about finding those who do and letting go of those who don’t.

It’s your one and only life . You get to decide what you want it to be all about. You get to decide what’s important to you. You get to decide the rules you want to live by. You get to define who you want to be. You get to define your universe.

Some humans will not like your universe. Some humans will disagree with your rules. They will not like it that you don’t live by their rules and that they might not get their way. Some humans will not like you. Let them. Everyone has their own universe. There is no right or wrong universe. That’s life.

Those humans with very different universes don’t have to be part of yours. You don’t have to be part of theirs. Let go of trying to live in other humans’ universes. Define your own.

If you dare to be the real you and show it, you’ll find those humans that you can truly connect with. Those humans who appreciate you for what you really are.

Dare to tell others what you really think and feel. Dare to ask for what you need and want. Dare to speak up for what’s true for you.

Be prepared to be uncomfortable though. You won’t turn a switch and all the sudden feel sure of the real you. You won’t all the sudden be comfortable to show that real you to the world. It will be a process. Be curious about yourself and keep defining your universe. And dare to let others see the real you more often.

Now, let’s get started. Be a little bit more real every day and you’ll get there.

Yours,
Cat🐾

P.S. Remember you’re human. So, the real you is imperfect, has weaknesses and insecurities, makes mistakes sometimes, and is wrong sometimes. Just like every other human out there. And everyone feels awkward and weird sometimes.
