Just Who
Are You?
Some time ago, you caught a glimpse of a person. A person you could. not. forget. With an unapologetic air, irresistible charm, endowed with a gift beyond their knowing. When life got messy, you could not forget how this person held it together, surprising you.

“When you figure out how to be yourself, it is an incredibly liberating and untragic way to go through life."
- Caroline McHugh
You, are this unforgettable person.
So just Be You, people say.
But it is not easy, mastering the art of being just you.
Maybe because you have had to wait for yourself to grow in ways that only the future can show. Maybe because you are still on that journey to recover parts of yourself that you seem to have lost. Maybe your life is too crowded with people, circumstances- it is too much of an ideal to let it all go, and be yourself, you say.
Meanwhile the real you, the one who is already here is waiting in the curtains- unheard.
