RE: Why Jennifer Lawrence's realness is so powerful
Wow this is an awesome article. I love how you were so real and honest about what you went through.
And I want to quote you here:
''I had a big problem with being real. I thought I had to be loved by everyone around me. So what did I do? I shut my mouth. I didn't want to run the risk that no one likes me. I was scared. So I just stayed quiet. Even though I was yearning for the attention, for the love.''
YES. I did the same exact thing for most of my life, kept quiet because I was in fear and wanted people to like me - until I turned 29 and something happened where I gave my power and voice away towards a project I was passionate about, and from that I decided I'm going to speak up more and not take shit from myself and others.
Amazing! I congratulate you on that! And thanks for sharing your experience as well. It's hard to take the first step but afterwards it becomes easier even thought the pressure increases. Let's support each other. Thanks again and all the best!
