Who Am I?

Who am I? This is a powerful question I have been asking myself often lately. I look at it as a check-in with myself to see what story I am telling and whether it is true or untrue.

When I was younger, I would have said I was a daughter. When I was married, I would have said I was a wife. When I had kids, I would have said I was a mom. But none of those statements said who I was. They just defined me by a role or title that I took on. Whatever we do for a job does not make us that, but we have grown up in a society that loves to put titles on who we are. What if you went deeper? What if you saw yourself differently?

We constantly evolve, grow, and learn, but does that change who you are? I once believed it did, but now I see myself for who I am: a soul living a human experience. Yes, our emotions and experiences change us, but I feel in ways that lead us to know who we are. Like a snake, we shed our skin to see a new layer, the growth of lessons we have learned, who we have always been, and who we are meant to become. I always go back to my little 4-5-year-old self lying in the grass and looking up into the sky. I would talk with God and ask him why he put me here and who I was. I was always aware that I was more than just Rach, not in an ego way, but spiritually.

And here I am today, almost 52, and honestly, I am still that little girl who questions so much, but in a more profound way. I still talk to God, and I still wonder, in moments, who I am. But in those moments of asking, I now remember I am love. I am this soul who is here to relearn what I forgot. I question things that don’t make sense and find the answers that align with me. I am both light and darkness; my job is to clear that darkness away. I am infinite, and when it is time to leave this realm, I know I will live on.

So, who are you? XO-Rach
