We're not trying to be something we aren't; rather, we're reconnecting with who we are.
Just where you are-that's the place to start!
The real thing that we renounce is the tenacious hope that we could be saved from being who we are.
The point is that our true nature is not some ideal that we have to live up to. It's who we are right now, and that's what we can make friends with and celebrate.
