Why I Have Been Afraid to Be Seen

Many times I have been referred to as wise. Wisdom moves through me like a breath. Beneath it though there has lived a fear.

The fear of being seen not as wise, but as chaotic.

The fear of being rejected if I showed my vulnerability, and true me.

I’ve craved community more than anything. A space of mutual growth, sharing… and safety.

But I didn’t know how to belong without being “the strong one,” the saviour, the resolver.

For many years I’ve walked the path between being relatable and being truly seen.

On one hand, I’ve longed to be a ‘normal’ human. On the other, I’ve wanted to be respected.

And I’m ready to stop walking that middle line. I want to just…be.. me.

One thing is for sure: being authentic has always been my safe haven. Even when it’s scary.

Do you ever feel like your truth might cost you your belonging?
