Do you ever notice how your truth seems to change depending on where you are — or who you’re with? You might feel confident in your career, but small or unsure in love. Or maybe you withdraw when meeting new people, but talk nonstop around old friends. Each version feels real in the moment, because it is the truth to a part of you. It might just not be the truth of your adult self.
