Great way to state that. And your right, it is quite a shock for those around us initially, but it is important to note that this reaction from family and friends is to be expected. No one likes change, especially when others see it in us...it upsets their world as they understand it. But the do adapt :-) Oleg, I love the part you said about “letting your awesomeness come through.” Great way to state that.

I stopped putting fronts on (for family, professors and supervisors, etc.) and just focused on being the genuine version of me that I was when around close friends and my girl. In other words, being transparent. I didn't force anything, but rather just set a standard for being completely transparent no matter who I was around. It caused some shocks at first (particularly family), but it felt like such a relief - this weight of having to be a certain tailored version was lifted from my shoulders. Now, with this expectation I set to be transparent, it's so easy to be 100% me and letting my awesomeness come through to anyone I interact with. Here's to being 100% genuine and awesome - with no fronts - and encouraging others to be the same when around us, Oleg Hey Dean,

Now, with this expectation I set to be transparent, it’s so easy to be 100% me and letting my awesomeness come through to anyone I interact with.

Here’s to being 100% genuine and awesome – with no fronts – and encouraging others to be the same when around us,
