There is a part of me that I am only beginning to understand. Jung called it the true inner self, the part that exists beneath all the roles, expectations, and stories I carry. It feels like a quiet center inside me, a place that watches, feels, and knows without needing to explain anything.
Sometimes I catch small glimpses of this inner self. It appears in moments when I am honest with myself. It shows up when I admit what I really feel, or when I choose something because it is right for me, not because it is expected.
There are days when I lose contact with this part of me. I get busy, distracted, or caught up in pleasing others. During those days, I notice that I feel more tired and more disconnected. But when I pause, breathe, and simply notice what is happening inside me, I find my way back again.
My inner self does not shout. It speaks softly. It feels like a warm presence, a steady reminder that there is more to me than fear or doubt. It has a clarity that I do not always understand, but I trust it more and more each day.
I am learning that meeting my inner self is not a one time experience. It is a continuous journey of returning to what is real and honest within me. It is choosing self awareness over automatic reactions. It is choosing peace over pressure.
Today, I will try to listen more deeply. I will pay attention to what feels true instead of what feels expected. I want to live closer to my inner self, because that is where I feel most alive and most me.
