Sometimes freedom begins when you stop trying to be accurately understood by everyone.

Being accurately understood by everyone is not achievable, and pursuing it means editing yourself endlessly for audiences that were never going to arrive at the right picture anyway. Giving up on that is a genuine loss of something, and also the beginning of moving freely.

Pick a misunderstanding about you that you have been trying to correct and let it stand. Notice how much attention it was consuming. Aim to be understood by a few people well rather than by everyone approximately.
