I've lived here all my life, and I hate that kind of stuff. Selling my soul, basically, and encouraging a lack of authenticity, but what can we do? That's how the world is. No wants the reality. It's not the commodity in demand.
I've worked at my current place for a while, so I can at least be less un-me with the people I know. I can answer the phone like, "You have needs?" or, "What's up?"  |
I value authenticity. It's why I love Bernie Sanders. Every once in a while someone points out something he's voted on that I'm against but at the same time I've seen him speak on these things against how he voted. Because of the trust I have in him, I trust that he did it for the right reason.
I'm going off track here - thank you ADHD but I just found out he voted FOR a crime bill I'd seen him fight against. It's inexplicable but to my mind it was probably to win favors for vets in another vote or something similar. The way he speaks now he's covering the same issues for 40 years and I like that consistency.
I like being consistent and authentic it's just that apparently others don't value that. I read a rather enlightening article that I still haven't heeded. It was talking about office politics and was speaking to people like us who can't be so bothered. It said something like, "You don't have to play the game, it's your right to sit it out, but just know that it's still being played without you."
