I’ll be honest—being sincere isn’t some grand strategy of mine. I’m not plotting world peace or trying to win “Best Human of the Year.” It’s just how I roll.
Sincerity feels lighter, like wearing flip-flops instead of heavy boots.
It’s freeing to say what I mean and mean what I say.
I guess it’s because life’s complicated enough. People already deal with fake smiles, polite lies, and weird small talk. Who needs more of that? I figure, if I can be the one person who’s real with you—genuinely happy for your wins, or quietly there for your lows—it might matter. Even just a little.
Also, sincerity’s got perks. It’s drama-free.
No need to remember what I said to whom, no energy wasted on facades. And the best part? It attracts the right people—the ones who vibe with your honesty, who give it back in their own way.
So, yeah, I’m sincere. Not because I’m perfect or wise, but because it feels good.
It’s me, doing me. Simple as that.

Your words are wonderful. Yes, we truly need honesty in a materialistic world full of selfishness and personal interests. Your message is truly important; keep being sincere, as it’s rare and will be your unique strength.✨✨
Sincerity is so rare nowadays-good on you
Sincerity shows a lot about you, Komal. And I'm glad you're here!
Wow!!! This was so good! My favorite sentence was the comparison you made with the word sincerity. (flip flops vs. boots). Your writing style is personal and relatable as well, as I often feel like I try to be this way in life as well.
Caitlin said exactly what I was thinking. Drama free...wonderful. We can feel this in your comments and I want to let you know how much I for one appreciate your sincere honesty.
OooOOoo I love this so much! I've made a point to lean into this and you are right, it feels so good! 💜
Oh I love that, the perks of being sincere is that it’s free of drama. I also like that you gave us a glimpse into your personality as well as giving us an idea of what being sincere feels like. Wearing flip flops is comfortable, heavy boots, not so much. I like that it also tells us that you want to wear sincerity all the time, because life is not a show. We don’t need to be fake. But if we are sincere, we only carry half the weight of the battle. I absolutely loved this piece sis 👌🏽♥️👏🏽🤗
Aww, You're amazing!
Golden words for me It’s me, doing me. Simple as that.
Consider it golden words Bravo KOMAL
yet perfect and wise nonetheless ❤️
Id paddle in that canoe with you all day 🛶🛶🛶 This kinda topic came up for me the other day: some grumpy coworker said "why do people do that blah i hate the elevators because fake people ask fake questions they dont even care to know the answer to"... I usually mind my biz but something made me... 🪩💃tap tap... is this thing on? 🎙️... 📣 And i was all... 'while i generally obey sourpuss elevator protocol and mind my own business...im one of those awful people that asks how others are... but its because i genuinely do care how they are. I, care to hear. Every word. For as long as that moment is. 🎤🔥🗽
Amen! Wise words to live by!
Your copious amounts of compassion are like the waves of the sea that support the ebbing boats along their gentle journey.
Well said, and good for you. I'm kind of disappointed that you're not plotting world peace, though. That would be so cool.
Get it gurl! This is a winner my friend! I wish I could give it a million hearts! We need more folks like you in this Crazy world! I love the sincerity and the authenticity that you showcased throughout this piece! You wrapped them in a beautiful bow and served them to us with your whole heart! Well done my sweet & talented friend! BRAVO! 🎉🎉🎉💕
I applaud your ability to remain as such in a world that more and more values hyperbole and lies
Ohh that's so relatable. I like to be kind honest and sincere always. I see many find it hard. I wonder why?
Komal, keep these words and true emotions of yours coming out! We're loving to read 'em... I loved this one ❤✨ You being you was the best part ❤
Well-wrought! Is there a distinction between honesty and sincerity, you think? Dropping this quote here, as, in some ways, it's relevant to what you're saying: "The question of normality in a person is usually decided on the basis of how similar his personality characteristics are, both in frequency and in force, to those psychosomatic processes most often encountered in a given society. The most frequent and thus "normal" traits express themselves in the following norms: practical rather than theoretical intelligence, predominantly egocentric rather than alterocentric attitudes toward society, and preponderance of the self-preservation, sexual, exploratory, and social instincts. These traits are commonly in compliance with group thinking and behavior and are often accompanied by minor, "safe" dishonesty. Such a group of "normal" traits in a person should, according to many, allow us to describe him as mentally healthy. Can we agree? No. This formulation is humiliating to mankind; a more suitable definition of mental health must contain, besides average values, exemplary ones." -Kazimierz Dobrowski, "Positive Disintegration"
This is so relatable! One who's sincere to everyone is not loved as much as he/she loved to be.
Because you are a beautiful soul. Do not ever change 🥰
Your so lovely bless you always ✍️♦️♦️♦️♦️
I love this! Being real just makes life so much easier, and it’s awesome how you put that into words. No fake vibes, no drama—just you being you. Honestly, that’s the best way to be!
Like you said, Komal! I value honesty more than anything! Very straightforward and grounded. Love it! 💌🌟
