Unapologetically Me: EMBRACING THE PLAN AND PURPOSE OF YOUR AUTHENTIC LIFE

Product Information

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.”– Bertrand Russell

When the object of her writing, Hip Hop rapper Jaren 'Jericho' Young gets word of her using him as the lead in her story, fiction turns into reality in the most unexpected ways. When you become unapologetically yourself, you view your life through your own lenses and not from the same one everyone else is using. You get to identify your strengths and weaknesses.One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.”- Shannon L. Alder Growing up in Serbia, where women are unapologetically very feminine, I came to London and realized that I wanted to keep this feminine element but give it a twist and challenge ideas of classical beauty.”– Roksanda Ilincic Do you have a space that’s sacrosanct to you, such as a bedroom or study? A place that only you’re allowed into? Or perhaps it’s an item such as your phone or computer that’s off-limits to other people in your life?

Suggested books: Lupe Wong Won’t Dance, Stand Up, Yumi Chung!, American as Paneer Pie, Red, White, and Whole, The Year I Flew Away) Take up sewing and make your own clothes. Spin and dye yarn to sell on Etsy, or carve era-specific wooden utensils. Hell, if you like to work with wood, take up historical carpentry using only tools of that era. By learning how to become unapologetically yourself, you practice self-love and self-compassion. You accept yourself the way you are and recognize that you have a mind of your own, and therefore, it is okay to stand up for your beliefs and express your opinions. Final Thoughts Yes, living in a way that’s unapologetically true to yourself is important, but so is not being a complete douche canoe. It’s so easy to get caught up with the demands of other people and at the same time lose yourself. Stop pleasing anyone else but yourself. This one is really difficult for many people, as it’s so deeply ingrained in us to be liked and accepted by people.

How to live as authentically and unapologetically as possible.

Always be yourself. At the end of the day, that’s all you’ve really got; when you strip everything down, that’s all you’ve got, so always be yourself.”– Al Roker If you lived in a world where there were no other people or sharing of ideas, you wouldn’t have a choice but be who you are because that is all you would ever know. Also, the book was ambitious, there were so many issues/themes peppered throughout the book that I wanted a respite so that I could remain connected to the focal point i.e. Fatima has Jaren. After awhile the inundation of issues, subplots and characters (Deja, KeVon, Brandy, Courtney, the manager) was overwhelming. And since we were forced to contend with all of these subplots and characters, I would have appreciated resolution or better yet closure with at least Courtney’s situation.
