It is such a struggle to be authentic.
This cannot be just me.

What would be the story of you?
Eberhard Grossgasteiger
On some days I feel strong.
Authenticity demands vulnerability and how fucking terrifying is that?
Authenticity is vulnerability and vulnerability demands weakness.
How fucking terrifying is that?
Its lopped and dipped and wavering and tangled up in itself and I wonder if it evenhasa recognizable shape.
Who is the villain in this tale of growth and struggle and solitude?
Am I afraid (are you afraid) it might be me (you)?
Im not alone, despite this hollow ache that echoes and clatters within.
I am overwhelmed by how not alone I am.
Stunned and burdened and uplifted by how much my story echoes in you and her and him.
Its the same story with different characters but wrapped into familiar arcs and climaxes and conclusions.
I know that fear, I feel it deep and real and pulsing.
You just have to look yourself in the eye and know it, feel it,beit.
Have the courage to beyou.
Nothing could be more horrible, or more worth it.
