I am currently reading “How To Write Non-Fiction” by Joanna Penn, and she shared this quote. In this chapter, she shares that authors should have a boundary regarding how much of their private life they share. She says to share, be authentic, be genuine but don’t share everything.
I am drawn to this quote as it applies to all aspects of life. It is all a choice. A collection of choices. How much do we share? What to keep private? What to sit on until we have calmed down from the emotional storm disturbing us.
Authenticity is honesty, and it lets our true self be seen in our life, or in our Author life (or our wannabe Author life).
“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.”
Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

This is very meaningful. I have often pondered about the edges of honesty and the boundaries of sharing personal life.
