Acting as if is a magical tool. At first, I feel like a fraud. I’m just pretending. I’m sure no one will believe me. But they do! People start treating me differently. I start treating me differently. Little by little, my insides change to match the way I am acting outside. Before long, I’m no longer acting as if. I’m just being me! Acting as if gives me the courage and structure to become more of who I really am.
