To be oneself more
Deeply and freely
How oneself is intended

Premium Member Lost art

Just be yourself is almost always
inadvertently shamelessly said.

Few can see themselves as they truly are
for indeed, being oneself is a rare lost art.

Be happy is dare to be happy  !
for this to seek the light
tearing the veil of darkness
and after the wisdom of giving oneself
be ecstatic with happiness....!
