Authenticself Stories

Leo,the office jester, uses constant humor as a shield for deep-seated insecurity. When his facade cracks, he begins the difficult journey of embracing vulnerability, discovering that true connection lies not in deflecting others, but in showing up as his authentic, sometimes quiet, self.

In a society obsessed with speed and superficiality, men are often coerced into a relentless chase, leaving little room for genuine depth. We speak of peace, yet we rarely tell men the truth about its nature. It is not the tranquil retreat from noise and drama that popular culture portrays. True peace, for a man, begins not with quietude, but with a profound, often agonizing, internal war-a battle for balance between the relentless drive for improvement and the intrusive thoughts that conspire against it. It is about settling the conflicts within, not merely escaping external skirmishes. A note on this journey: I am not certified or professionally trained in mental health. The insights and observations presented in this book are purely my own, born from years of shared conversations with men from all walks of life, alongside my own deeply personal experiences and reflections. My hope is that this perspective brings a unique form of enlightenment and reassurance - a testament to the ongoing work we all have to do, and a gentle whisper that the peace we often seek is not quite what we think it is.

In life we tend to play victim or super hero and sometimes we play both depending on our circumstances. When you are facing challenges what do you do? Do you play victim and tell everybody about what terrible thing happened to you and enjoy their attention or do you play super hero and take charge of the situation and don't deal with your emotions because every body is depending on you? This is my story and I hope you get inspired by it.

Caged Colors is a poetic and introspective tale that delves into the high school years of Wayo, a young soul navigating the emotional turbulence of self-discovery. During this time, Wayo finds himself caught in what appears to be a peculiar love story-or is it even love at all? Bound by societal expectations and weighed down by self-doubt, Wayo struggles to confront the truths he has long hidden behind closed doors. Through whispered confessions, silent heartbreaks, and moments of vulnerability, he begins to untangle the intricate threads of his heart, questioning the nature of love and its place in his journey of understanding himself. This poignant narrative captures the raw beauty of stories-friendships tested, words left unspoken, and the quiet bravery it takes to embrace one's authentic self. Wayo's journey serves as a reminder that the most profound love story we can discover is often the one we share with ourselves.

Standing in aisle three of the local pharmacy on a random March day in 1994, high school junior Melissa Anderson has a realization. Her life is like a stick of deodorant; it is slowly disappearing, little by little, day by day. But unlike deodorant, she can't buy a new life when this one runs out. So Melissa decides that maybe it's time to step out of her comfort zone and get a little bit sweaty. The first thing she does is get a job at the local video store which leads to the idea of trying out different lives, the way you would rent videos. With the help of her best friend Tara, and her co-worker, the cute college-freshman Jason, they pick different popular teen movies for Melissa to cast herself in for three days in a row. As she signs up for dancing classes, trolls the local dojo, attends an all boys' school dance, gets detention on purpose, and does other things inspired by her favorite 80s films, Melissa explores who she is and what it means to live life as her most authentic self.

This poem is a raw, unfiltered reflection of power, resilience, and self-mastery. It captures the energy of standing firm in your truth, even when chaos, lies, and manipulation surround you. Every line speaks to the unstoppable force within-your gifts, your boundaries, your light. It's about recognizing the masks others wear, seeing through their illusions, and staying unshaken while the world tries to push you off course. Unshakable is a declaration: you are whole, chosen, and unstoppable. This is a reminder to honor your energy, protect your soul, and rise above negativity. For those who can't handle your light, let them go-the universe will guide the right people, moments, and energy to your path. Stand tall. Stand proud. Let your power shine unapologetically. This is more than poetry; it's a manifesto for anyone walking through life with gifts, clarity, and divine strength.
