Self-Knowledge Question #50: My Truest Self

[ng_moonmoth]

Initial post on what I'm doing here.

50. What would it mean to live your happiest life being your truest self every darn day?

It would mean that I would not be diverting my attention into pretending to be someone I'm not, and more engaged with the world around me as a result. I would like to think that my interactions with others would improve as a result, but I realize there may be a fair amount of work there, and I'm not counting on that.

And that completes the set of self-knowledge questions. Fifty questions in fifty days. And though there were a few times when I wasn't able to make a timely post, I got back on track quickly enough to feel like I wasn't falling behind.

So now I'd like to find something else to post about. Any suggestions?

Hmmmmm. I think my answer to that question would be very similar to yours, only not so much on the visual perception I give to the world, but the things that I _do_, how much I stand up for issues, etc... if my day job doesn't require _hiding_ my politics, but _is_ my politics, I think I would have a lot more fun, and be a much better me.

And in answer to "what else"... if you had a big fat winning lottery ticket, what project would you start in order to make the world a better place?

Mine: A healthcare consortium dedicated to making sure bards and other creatives _never have to worry_ about getting sick.
My wife's: A co-housing community in which abused individuals can go and live while they put their lives back together, and then pay it forward when and as they can.
