Authenticity is something we all strive for, which is ironic because I’d argue it’s also the one thing we all have. Or perhaps more accurately we can choose to have.
You can be “authentic” by simply being yourself, except that’s not really the authenticity that we’re all craving, is it? What we’re really searching for is being the internet version of authentic — raw but finely tuned, honest but contrite, present but unattainable — you know, Internet authentic.
