I think my 2020 word is going to be GENUINE
gen·u·ine
/ˈjenyo͞oən/

: actually having the reputed or apparent qualities or character
: sincerely and honestly felt or experienced
: ACTUAL, TRUE
: free from hypocrisy or pretense : SINCERE

I want my thoughts, my words, my everything to be genuine. I want to cut back on the toxicity of social media, especially with the upcoming election *insert dread*. I want whatever I type or say, for people to know that I really mean it and that I'm not just doing it for show. I don't want someone to read my words and wonder if I've being sincere or sarcastic. I want people to see me for who I am, not for how I sometimes portray myself when outside of my home.

I know we should live this way 24/7, but sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the bickering, sarcasm, etc of social media and people we call "friends" in real life, that we don't realize we are doing that. So going back to my 2018 word of mindful, I'm adding genuine to my OLW to make sure I'm being the person that I was created to be in 2020.
