I feel like I've been searching for my voice my entire life and I've never really found it. I've always been a mirror, searching for what everyone around me wanted me to be and trying (and often failing) to reflect that back to them. I can't remember not doing this. Ever.
But I also have always had this longing inside me to speak, to sing, to write, to share what is inside me with anyone who it might resonate with. Somehow through writing, through singing, I find the mirror inside me used for a different purpose. Instead of reflecting other's expectations back to them, I find this uplifting, joyful, beautiful, glorious, Godly light being reflected. I created this blog and called it "Reflecting Light" and "Mirroring Truth" but I only now see how deeply those names resonate with my path and my heart and my reasons for writing.
I don't want to be silent anymore. I want to speak. Even if no one reads my words. Even if I chose not to actually share them anywhere but here. I want to have a voice. A small space of my own. To discover who I am and what this light is that I find when I open my computer and start typing.
