What does being *real* mean to you?


Recommended Posts

Is it just a case of being true to yourself?

I mean we all lie to some people even if it's just the cold callers you want to get rid of.

I want to go out blazing..not fade away.

Being true to yourself and others... Not being phoney! If it is what you believe than so be it!

american term and i never use it.. sounds a little fake to me as if someone needs to say that they're keeping it real it makes it sound insincere

Presenting yourself just the way you are, and not to be popular, gain attention or score points. Although I agree with Matta. I'm not a big fan of "keep it real" statement. It usually comes with this "I'm cooler than you" flavor.

keepin it real means being able stand for what you beleive in with PRIDE

means bein able to go out in sweat pants - a tee shirt - rollers in your hair (baseball cap for guys) - and still feeling like the most beautiful person in the room -

-- means

being content.

Religion is for those who fear going to hell-

Spirituality is for those who have already been there!

Keeping it real...hmmm.....

I think I act the same most of the time except for when I go into 'slut mode'. Then my behavior changes to whatever you want it to be- hehe ::wink, wink::

Oh there are sometimes when I just am 'cooler than you' too.

Oh wait, sometimes I also 'don't keep it real' when I dance. Honestly, I'm a terrible dancer and for those of you who have seen me in my 'real' mode- you know the truth. Then there are these occasional times when I pretend to have some moves- it's all fake.

I think I covered it all- if not, I'll get back to you.

we are all just figments of our own makin darlin, so, illusion's we are all...what concepts and actions of real we have of ourselves at this very moment always metamorphosizes in to a mere growing & learning experience down the road....so you see, we are all always real, at all times...IMO of course...

"Be true to yourself"

Words I live by. IMO, the hardest part of that is to know yourself well enough to do that. Lately I've been questioning just what that is.

Do I compromise who I believe I am for short term gain, or do I change?

Anyone who knows me, even a little, probably sees me as a genuine person. I won't pretend I've never lied or misled, but if I do something like that, it is of the 'little white' variety.

But in the last weeks I've begun to wonder where the line is between 'being true to one's self' and just changing with time. I'm hardly the same person I was 10 years ago, my standards have changed.. and continue to.

So, how do you approach 'keeping it real' in a changing world?

I think it comes down to being honest. If you can't get what you want with the truth then you shouldn't be there.

------------------

I'm in search of myself. If you find me before I arrive, please have me wait.

Im with littled..but i have more (as always). I take the offensive.

I dont let people sugar coat, tell white lies, and beat around the bush with me..in confront them with the truth - keep other people real too!

and never use the consolation statement "don't worry about it, it's nothing" when it is something. the worst lie is the one you tell yourself. its how we all get in trouble, esp in relationships. ignoring the truth to make ourselves feel better - always temporary..

you can get away with lies to other people, but when u tell urself ull do something, accomplish something, and and you don't, you can't escape that one (haha..a little something from my bodybuilding theory)
