The best way to heal yourself, or help other people, is to be authentic. Be real. Be courageous in a sense of expressing how you really feel, instead of putting on the image you want people to see. It's not easy for anyone to be vulnerable, to express a personal struggle, fear or insecurity. But as hard as it may, it is the birthplace of creativity, connection, and growth. To actually face difficult conversations and feelings head on frees you from remaining a prisoner to your fears. You wind up carrying them with you everywhere you go, as if that dark cloud never seems to clear in your life. But the minute you become full authentic and expressive you begin to see the sun come out again. You feel that sense of relief, the weight off your shoulders. Helping other people, like your friend, adopt this mindset could really great starting point for flushing out the negative energy many of us carry around with us everyday.
