Embracing your Authenticity
- Details
- Written by Millie America Parmer

We can practice beauty through what is known as the giveaway*—which helps us experience greater happiness and well-being while transforming the world — bringing beauty and healing where there is ugliness, alleviating the suffering of others, and creating peace where there is conflict.
I have often found myself abandoning the essence of who I truly am, swayed by the expectations and judgments of others. I now stand in the embodiment of my own authenticity.
For too long, I allowed the fear of not meeting someone else’s standards to dictate my choices, my actions, and even my self-worth. I forgave myself for the times I hesitated to stand up, for the moments I silenced my voice because I dreaded the disapproval of others. In doing so, I realized that self-forgiveness is an essential step towards reclaiming the power that lies within.
I’ve come to understand that the empowerment I seek doesn’t stem from external validation but from the divine essence that resides within me. There’s a sacred force, a spark of divinity, that guides me on this journey. It whispers in the quiet moments, urging me to honor my truth and walk the path of self-love.
It’s true; past traumas have left scars that sometimes tempt me to stay confined in the walls of my ego. These experiences, like heavy chains, have weighed down my spirit and made it challenging to break free. But today, I declare that no more will I allow the shadows of the past to dictate the brilliance of my future.
I am standing in my power, even if my legs shake, if my voice isn’t strong… yet! It will be. The choice to step into the light, to shed the layers of ego, is a conscious one. It requires acknowledging the wounds, understanding their impact, and then choosing to rise above them. I’ve learned that every scar tells a story, but it doesn’t have to define the narrative of my life.
In this moment of awakening, I recognize that I am the author of my story. I am not bound by the expectations of others, nor am I defined by the scars of my past. Instead, I am fueled by the divine energy that flows through me—a force that empowers me to stand tall in my authenticity.
So here’s to embracing the unique soul that I am, to forgiving myself for the times I faltered, and to moving forward with the unwavering belief that I am worthy of love, acceptance, and joy. No longer will I abandon myself for the comfort of conformity; instead, I choose the path of self-discovery and self-love, guided by the divine light that shines within me.
I love you!
