Do you desire to be wholly yourself?

In order to be known, you have to make yourself known 💀💀💀

I'm sure you are aware of what a horrifying ordeal it is to be a person. That statement was horrendously hyperbolic but emotions have little regard for the making of sense.

I have been thinking a lot about a particular yearning to be understood. Despite the terror of being vulnerable, something within us longs to do it. To fully accept our personhood (and all of the associated flaws and limitations) is difficult.

From Kendrick Lamar's 2016 song ​"untitled 06 | 06.30.2014.":

No you're not easily impressed

But I possess qualities that you need to see

Look at my flaws, look at my flaws

Look at my imperfections in awe

Is imperfection something that we need to run away from? Should we be denying our personhood?
