3. There is one particular way I have seen someone around me being authentic that sticks to mind, one of my class mates in school was known for her stylish out fits and such, one day I saw her wearing a vest that I always admired so I asked her where did she get it. To my surprise she said Goodwill. It did not matter to her where her clothes were from and it striked me as something authentic because she took pride in finding others junk as her treasure.
