Felt cute. Might tell some truths today, idk.

I SO wish I took this photo this morning, but the truth is I took this a month ago when I felt less tired, less overwhelmed, & more attractive.
I was going to come up with some funny/witty/untrue fuckin’ caption & let you all assume it was taken today, & then I decided NOPE! I’m going to be real with everybody here.
—
I’m a mom, girlfriend, friend, sister, daughter, etc. & I’m an entrepreneur; managing my dog training company, & planning/launching my brand-new canine care facility opening this summer, being built on vacant land - literally from the ground up, folks. It’s exciting... But shit, am I ever tired lol.

I could’ve posted an actual photo of me today - but trust me when I say ya’ll don’t need that in your life this morning I’ll get brave enough to post a “woke up like this” selfie soon, I hope. Getting comfortable in your own skin is a process, especially online for the world to see.
Just know that this photo makes me feel pretty & that’s why I’m posting it. But also know that this is not my reality every day.

Reality is this: My hair has been in a bun for a week, sweats are my bestfriend lately, & the most I’ve done for cooking this month was last night when I boiled a pot of noodles, fried up some hamburger & threw some store-bought spaghetti sauce in the pan. (Thanks @joshua_aylward for taking care of meals lately, you the real MVP)

The point is though,
I’m TIRED of being inauthentic. Out of everything going on in my life, being unreal with myself & my followers is probably the most exhausting. So, I’m cutting that shit out right now.
Do I mean that I’ve been dishonest? No. Do I mean that I’ve not been a genuine person? Absolutely not. What I mean is that a lot of us fall into the trap of presenting ourselves differently online from what is really going on in our real lives - I’m so guilty. & I’m so over it.

INAUTHENTICITY, it is time -
I’m throwing in the glitter confetti (not the towel, towels are boring).
From here forward you guys get the good, the bad, the sparkly, and the not so sparkly Shayla. Actually, I prefer Shay. Don't call me Shayla. (See what I did there? )
