What I heard today, like many things in life, was obvious to me as soon as I heard it. It describes me SO well. And it has profound consequences. I wouldn’t change it at this point, but my life may have turned out very differently had I chosen authenticity instead of attachment in my formative years.
“When faced with the choice of either attachment or authenticity in their relationships, will go for attachment first, seeking recognition and validation from others instead of being able to give it to themselves.“
Even as Amanda, which is an authentic expression of part of me, I almost always go for attachment. Attachment is validating, and there’s nothing better than my feminine self being validated. But if I went more towards authenticity, what would that look like? Still trying to get to know myself enough to actually have an answer.
Needed to get his down while it was in my head. It’s late, and I’m tired. Curious for anyone’s thoughts.
