Reflecting on a Thought-provoking Question…

Earlier, there was a question proposed that quietly took root in my mind: “What’s something about you that no one knows?” It’s such a simple inquiry on the surface, but the more I thought about it, the more it challenged me to look inward.

We all carry pieces of ourselves that remain tucked away, either because no one has asked the right question or because we haven’t found the words to share. For me, the answer isn’t a single secret, but the ongoing process of understanding myself, my thoughts, dreams, and small quirks that make me who I am.

Perhaps what many people don’t know is how much I reflect on these kinds of questions. I spend a lot of time replaying conversations in my mind, turning over ideas, and trying to understand what really matters to me. I daydream all too often about things I want to do, wish I could do, and others I dream of doing. I think this curiosity about myself, life,  and the world helps me grow, even if the process sometimes feels slow or uncertain.

I am empathetic, deeply spiritual, and someone who feels things deeply. The energy of others affects me, my soul, my heart. The time I take to renew myself is necessary. I need to sloth off the heaviness in order to allow my spirit to breathe. I have lost so many that were so dear to me, I feel their loss daily. I don’t dwell on it, them… they are just woven into the fabric of my life. I am told I am easy to talk to, and I have a spark or light in my eyes by those I meet. I say that’s my gift, My Jesus…  I meet no strangers, and I talk to and listen and hear those around me and in my path.

So, while I can’t point to one dramatic secret, I can say that I’m always exploring new corners of my own personality. Maybe that’s something few people know—just how much I value introspection and the journey to truly knowing myself, getting to know and understand life and others.  Finding my peace, listening to the Whispers of God in my soul, and trying to be the good in a world that is becoming full of shadows… The light within me keeps me moving and for me that is enough, it is everything.
