stop hiding

I'm learning that self-expression and the freedom wrapped in it is one of the most important things to me. I value the freedom to be myself and express myself. I find beauty and peace in being able to be who I am, even when it may not fit what others expect me to be. There is liberation in the experience of standing fully present in who I am, even while I am still learning who I am. It's not about what other people think, or say, or how they react. It's not about being fearful of judgement. It's about doing what I want and being who I am in the face of adversity and potential disapproval. It's about being confident in our own voices and our own thoughts even if people disagree with us. At the end of the day, I want to look in the mirror and see myself being me fully — heart open, smile wide and head high knowing that I did not hide for the sake of others.

The wonders that you hold inside of yourself need to be shared with the world. You have so many thoughts in your mind and so much joy in your heart. You create beautiful things out of nothing -- you are made in God's image that way. You turn each situation that you find yourself in into power. You are an alchemist. You are a free spirit. Your mind moves freely. Your heart is open. Your soul is loving. Your voice speaks. Your body is a vessel for all of your ancestors' wildest dreams. I wish love upon you. May you feel the never-ending love that has been planted within you and may you share it with the world. No more hiding. You were created to be seen and seen clearly.

There is a way to know yourself deeply. It is by being genuinely curious and open with yourself. Here are a few questions to get you started. Try journaling about them :)

  1. What do you like to do?

  2. How do you want to feel?

  3. How do you want to be loved?

  4. What are your strengths?

  5. What are your weaknesses?

  6. What do you want out of life?

  7. What do you want from your career?

  8. What do you see when you look inside of the mirror?
