When You’re Wondering Who You Are

Who are you, really? Beyond the identities you’ve carefully crafted, the masks that you wear, the stories you’ve told yourself. Beneath all of that outer noise, who are you? When everything else is stripped away, what remains?

If you listen closely, there is a voice inside calling your name. If you close your eyes, can you see what she looks like? Can you hear her voice, her call? I wonder what qualities she has, and what makes her feel alive. I wonder what it would be like to see the world through her eyes.

So, when you’re wondering who you are, and what all this–this world we live in–is even for, I invite you to slow way down, to step outside of the trance (whatever yours idiosyncratically looks like), and allow the unfolding of an answer. To sit at the threshold with wonder and curiosity. To allow a voice inside you to emerge from the depths with clarity and ease, for you already know. Inside, whether a whisper or a scream, there is a version of you who knows wholeheartedly who you are. Allow her voice to carry you into a new way of being–one that is aligned, authentic, honest, and real. And allow it to feel so, so good.

For it is your birthright to meet yourself beyond pre-prescribed roles and identities, beyond the world around you telling you who you are. Beyond even yourself rigidly defining who you are or who you’re meant to be. Perhaps it’s time to drop the veil, to walk through the threshold, and to embrace who appears on the other side.
