DAY 124 - How To Be Authentic

I messed up yesterday 🤦🏻

Yesterday I was a guest on a podcast that was a lot more personal than I am use to.

This morning I woke up feeling kind of terrible. I had a vulnerability hangover.

Surprisingly it wasn’t the really personal questions (and there were many) that had me feeling bad. It was a well intentioned question, the hosts asked me about what message I would share with younger creatives and artists.

Without thinking I blurted out “Authenticity means less than you think.”

It’s a terrible answer that does not communicate what I really meant.

So instead of feeling sorry for myself or ignoring these very real feelings I was having, I decided to transmute this experience into something honest and creative.

I reminded myself that I am never done until I am dead and today I am most definitely not dead.

If I misspoke it’s never too late to fix it.

And so, this YouTube video is my second attempt at answering that original question.

I would love to know what you think.

Big love,

D
