“I always try to keep it real, and surround myself with people who keep it real.”
— Beyonce
Simplified Meaning:
The person is saying they always try to be honest and genuine in their actions and feelings. They also want to be around others who are the same. Being "real" means not faking emotions or putting on a show just to impress others. For example, if you feel sad, you don’t pretend to be happy; you share your true feelings with your friends. And you expect your friends to do the same with you. This approach helps build trust because you know where everyone stands. Imagine having a friend who always tells you the truth, even if it’s hard to hear, like when you ask for feedback on your work. You can trust this friend because they’re straightforward and want the best for you. Applying this to your life can lead to more genuine relationships and a stronger sense of self, because you’re not wasting energy pretending to be someone you’re not.
