I hate when shows rip me apart unintentionally. Being authentic is hard. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes you’re not ready for it to. And when you are ready to share those things, I look forward to reading them. (PS, I forget to turn the oven off all the time.)

Thanks a lot.

I remember those episodes of HIMYM and though I don’t know your story, Barney’s was quite raw and honest.

Looking forward to reading more about you.

I’m going to get some texas toast. My wife made some strawberry jam recently and I have yet to have some.

By the way, I enjoyed your post.

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 01:06:17 +0000 http://www.authenticexperience.org/?p=1250#comment-3294 Honestly it was the Texas Toast that drew me in to read this entire post. I recently discovered it and it’s sooo good! Lol. But seriously, I like when bloggers write stream-of-thought like this. I quite often think this way and it’s nice to run across someone else who does too. Thank you for striving to be authentic, whether it’s about deep things like your dad or not-so-deep things like Texas Toast. It’s refreshing to find a blogger that isn’t afraid to just be real!

Keep on living authentically. It’s the only way to live!

P. S. does your oven have a timer? :)

Too many to articulate, really. Most of all I love the authenticity of your words, the wandering of your thoughts. Your humanity is palpable and that is rare. So happy to be here reading.

I regularly have to explain to my husband how I got from A (say, Texas Toast) to B (authentic experience, perhaps)? Love your writing style, brain dump or no.

unrelated question: er…what’s texas toast?

I took an autobiography course a few years ago and it changed my life. Like you said, the authentic experience is hard, but it’s worth it. To live that way and to write that way.
