@mamacita In this crazy old world that we live in I want to be myself. However it's very clear that simply being myself can cause havoc in relationships, personal or professional. Where do I draw the line? How much of me do I want to "give up" so to speak and give in, when I truly want to be myself. What is going to serve me best in the end? That is something that I have to ask myself everyday because sometimes being authentic to myself ends up leaving me stuck and not able to proceed forward to the results I would like to see.

Pretty soon I will be moving 750+ miles away. I've only been here a year, just barely enough to know most of the streets around here. Now I move to a town of about 1000 people, no stop light, no gas station. I know absolutely nobody there. My mind wrestles with rejoicing at not having to be anybody but who I am, balanced with how will I present myself? People will automatically question motives as a new person moves into town. This is a fact. How do I figure out how to do what I need done in this move, and feel comfortable with myself at night? What a dilemma!
