I Should Be So Bold

The Story

I Should Be So Bold is not a manifesto, and it is not a guidebook. It is a quiet examination of the space between who we are and how we live. Through reflection, self-interrogation, and lived experience, Boris Naturi explores what it means to choose authenticity in small, ordinary moments—especially when fear, habit, and unspoken rules tell us not to.
This book is about naturism, but it is also about something far broader: the ways we negotiate ourselves smaller for the comfort of others, the stories we tell ourselves to justify restraint, and the cost of waiting for a future version of ourselves to finally feel ready.
