To me it means letting myself feel and accepting what those feeling are. Also letting myself accept my weaknesses and fears. I was raised believing fear and emotion were weak and to power through those things. "Suck it up and press on," were the words I lived by and forced myself through any feeling of not being strong or at the top of my game. As I approach my 30s I realize that I can't keep this up and that I have to be more human.
