YOU ARE
Learning to look deeper,
to explore within yourself,
to acknowledge self-perceived flaws and the mistakes you’ve become overtly aware of.
The regrets, the shame, the bitterness, the anger.
To understand and embrace the parts of you you’ve hated,
that you’ve regretted,
that you’ve rejected.
You are embracing self awareness
YOU ARE
Allowing painful memories to surface,
acknowledging the pain, the hurt, the mental torment,
asking questions and scratching the surface —
yet still wanting to bury it all deep down again.
You look in the mirror and realize it is a stranger.
After all these years, all you truly know about this person is that they survived another day:
Misunderstood, unheard, unseen.
Unseen by yourself. Not even recognized by your own eyes.
You’ve begged God to remove whatever curse you feel rests upon you.
Yet, you still find gratitude.
You are exploring inner self
YOU ARE
Going to therapy, journaling, writing, healing, meditating, crystals, reading, talking, shadow work, psalms.
You’re finding your tribe, finding your people, protecting your energy, releasing some people, releasing parts of yourself.
You realize: You deserve better, something has to change.
You have to truly feel —
even if it means feeling pain,
even if it feels strange, even if you feel different.
You owe yourself better.
Your inner being needs better.
Not a better you, but a loved you.
You are embracing shadow work and personal growth.
YOU ARE
searching for answers,
searching for God,
searching for Yah ,
searching for your Creator,
Searching for whom?
YOU.
Self-awareness
self-healing
self-encouragement
self-empowerment
self-love
self-realization
The more you seek God,
the more you find… YOU.
YOU ARE
On Your Healing Journey
YOU ARE the answer to your prayers.
When you heal yourself, you heal generations.
I hope that even if in just a few lines, you were able to reflect on your own introspective journey. I asked ChatGPT to change my words from I Am to You Are within "Illuminating the Unseen Self", my previous blog post so that it resonates with my readers to offer a reflection of themselves to Illuminate the Unseen You. I summarized the sections to offer clarity into my thought process.
Thank you for being here.
