To my younger self,

Authenticity - What a strange concept in today's world. We are constantly under scrutiny from the whole of society, and the craziest part is that usually, we choose to put ourselves there. Then we are expected to be authentic but also flawless. This creates an enormous amount of pressure on the "entertainer", and unrealistic expectations from the "spectator". Is authenticity even possible without flaws?

It's been a while since I have written anything here. I'm sorry! It has been crazy moving to a new country, and honestly, I got wrapped up in the excitement of being somewhere new. I'm back now, though, and ready to tell you all about this little city that I get to call home for the next 6 months.
