Continuing from my realization in Truth (Part 1)… I wrote a personal manifesto.
Staying True to Connection
I believe in the fluidity of self.
I am always growing, always unfolding — never fixed, never final.
I recognize that words spoken in passing can become anchors, unintentionally tying me to moments that no longer reflect my truth.
I will listen with openness but hold space for discernment.
I will ask myself: Is this truth, or is this someone else’s reflection of me?
I honor the power my inner circle holds in shaping my identity — and I hold a mirror to my own influence in return.
Just as I evolve, so do they.
I commit to staying present with the people I love — allowing them to change, to expand, to contradict what I once believed about them.
Connection is not built through categorization, but through curiosity.
I choose to relate through ongoing discovery, not old definitions.
I can hold complexity.
I can trust myself to find the grey.
I am not a fixed story — I am a living, breathing unfolding.
