This was an absolute joy to read and a timely reminder for any writer. Sincerity is indeed the essence of mindful living. I’ve often pondered on the similarities and differences between authenticity and sincerity. I believe the former still holds on to the notion of an “ideal” self which goes against of what being sincere is about - embracing both perfections and imperfections with equanimity.
Enjoyed it! I've been thinking and reading about doubts and sincerity in writing a lot and this essay is a great addition to the discussion (I liked the nested story as well!)
