authenticity

today in my counseling class we talked about being genuine.
it was said that it can be quite tiring to be yourself at work, at home and everywhere else.
sometimes its easier to play a role.
it was also said that it is more tiring to be authentic in all areas of life when you are an introvert.
which might explain a little of why i'm tired.
i haven't had heaps of homework like i normally do. granted, i've had some, but not heaps.
but i have been working hard to be authentic in my interactions during one-on-ones, with my room-mate, with friends...
and its tiring.

so i took a nap this afternoon.
much better. =)
