“It’s really hard to express myself in a way that will be received well enough by others while still being authentic to who I am. A really hard thing to convey to students that I am working with is that it’s okay to be raw; it’s okay to express it however because that authenticity is what makes [us] connect with other people. But it is easier to say that to someone else than to say that on my own.”
