I can be fully known and still be loved. I am allowed to show up as my whole self. My softness, depth, wisdom, desire, emotion, discernment, ambition, joy, and humanity all belong. Being authentic reveals who has the capacity to remain in aligned connection with me. If someone leaves after knowing the real me, it is confirmation that the connection did not have the capacity, maturity, or alignment to hold who I truly am. I allow myself to be known, and I trust that what is aligned will have room for the truth of me.
