“I walk into the questions I once feared.
I meet the shadows I tried to outrun.
I do not fix, I do not fight, I listen.
And what was once hidden becomes my light.
I do not need answers to remember my truth.
I am the one who turns inward and finds home.”
✨ What parts of me have never been asked the right questions?
✨ Can I sit with what arises without rushing to fix or flee?
✨ What truth might I uncover if I welcomed the question more than the answer?
Beloved, you are not broken.
You are layered, complex, beautifully unfinished.
The questions you fear are not your undoing,they are your map.
Let them lead you inward.
Let them show you the voices, the wounds, the wisdom waiting to be heard.
Your soul does not need answers to be whole.
It only needs your willingness to listen.
