Be Genuine

Want to be genuine

Want to be true to myself

Want to continue growing

And surviving in this world

 

That’s why

 

I’m not afraid to be vulnerable,

To say what’s on my mind

To appear stupid

Or lose my mysteriousness

 

 

“Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist….It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

    It is really difficult to live with the crowd yet not to lose one\’s own independent thoughts, isn\’t it? To live in a world where mysteriousness seems to be a fashion,I have already forgot how to fearlessly face my own nakedness.Btw Cambridge is such a beautiful place. Have a wonderful X\’mas there.
