Sometimes it seems the only action associated with keeping it/being real is a level of in your face, sharp shooting, telling it to you like it is, in a forceful and hard way toward another.
I agree that at times, this form of being real is necessary, but I think there is another type of real that is equally as important. This realness is that of choosing to be vulnerable and truthful, first with the Lord (I must state this, as I know Him to be the ultimate source of healing, hope, and change), then with yourself, and others – acknowledging that you may feel lonely, afraid, disconnected, or just sometimes misunderstood.
I believe there is great power in sharing victories (testimonies), as well as struggles (tests, soon to be testimonies), even in a time where it seems like we all are so bent on appearing as if we have it all together.
To me, true realness is admitting, even if just to yourself, that you do have some insecurities, you do not have it all together, and you do need others.
I am striving to walk this type of being real out.
Staying encouraged – I hope the same for you!
Thank you for encouraging me to be myself….definately some welcome and good news ๐๐พ

This is great and much needed especially during this time! No one has it all together and it is comforting when people express it openly because it allow others to feel understood!
