How authentic are you?

Something that’s been on my mind a lot the last few months, is the concept of being authentic.

One of my struggles has always been the struggle between fully being myself, and being some slightly tempered-down version of me that is more palatable to people around me. (for any definition of “palatable”)

Especially in the workplace, where many people have expectations around you. Image, behavior, often opinions - you name it. We’re constantly pigeon-holed, whether we want it or not.

I don’t think it’s good to deny yourself, however little - so one of my nearer-term goals is to be more authentic.

Be more Dominic.

…

The world will surely quake.
