Thank you Miss Hepburn for highlighting the single most near enemy of being authentic. These days I feel many people confuse authenticity with a need or idea of being unique and special. (more special than another).
Not many speak about the authenticity of needing to feel secure, the need to somehow fit in with those close to you. Somehow mistaking being authentic as standing outside the people many call sheep.
Anyway. Well said and thank you.
