While reading this, I remembered that isolated feeling the half dozen times I was moved around while in K-10. As it stirred inside me, I realized it's nearly the same feeling I've been recently experiencing since traveling to TX for this winter. I've been calling it, "feeling like an imposter", for lack of a better description. However, reading this reminded me that I'm now a grown adult, and I can choose differently than when I was a child. I frequently make different choices than I used to because I believe I've learned better, and I especially like your statement "show your light". I will choose to go forth shining my light because I AM happy with the person I've grown to be, and will share that with others even when I'm feeling "little". I will no longer hide my spirit. Thank you, R! 🫶🏼
Alexa, I read your comment and felt a swell of pride for you. Thank you so much for the courage and generosity in sharing such a deep reflection.
That feeling, that 'imposter' shadow, is so real, and it’s a burden so many of us carry, especially when we intentionally step out on a new journey like you are in Texas.
What an amazing breakthrough to realize you can choose differently now as an adult. That commitment to 'no longer hide my spirit' is everything. That spirit is exactly what the open road is meant to honor. Shine brightly, Alexa. Thank you for showing your light.
No question the universe reflects the light (or lack thereof) you project. The hard part for me is to remember to project that light when I can. I have certainly gotten better… thanks for the reminder

R Michael, your words are so powerful and so true. To be the light we want to see in the world! Thank you. Fara
Fara, thank you so much for this. It means more than I can say that the piece resonated with you!
