What if we are just souls, travelling through this life, yet destined to live for eternity? What if we didn’t have to fear what is going to happen? If we could live with less worry, less fear, less judgement of others and less criticism of ourselves, could we then live more truthfully, more authentically?

If we didn’t worry what others thought about us, if we could just be who we are, that would be amazing. I would like to believe I have come a long way from the girl I used to be, so afraid of judgement, even though I was actually the one judging myself the harshest. I am more comfortable with who I am now than I have ever been, yet still I falter, I stumble. I am changing, and learning to understand change is in fact my friend, and not the enemy I thought it was for so long. I am growing, constantly learning about the world, about others, and most of all about me.

I strive to live with authenticity, sometimes it is hard when I have days where I don’t feel like I even know myself, but then I take a breath, I remind myself to unclench my jaw, to release the stress I feel, and be ok with the things I can not, and will never be able to control. When I started the hashtag community on Instagram #livingfearlesslyauthentic I did so to inspire myself, and anyone who was willing, to post about things that are real to them, moments of authenticity, the beautiful, the sad, the struggles, and the incredible moments that make up our reality. It is a safe place to accept one another, and to remind ourselves that despite how different we all are, we are still all sharing one wish . . . . . to be happy with being who we truly are.

Here are some of the moments shared on the Living Fearlessly Authentic instagram community. Thank you to everyone who shares; One Rule, Real Life.
