Self-discovery is not a sudden revelation; it is a quiet unfolding. It happens in pauses, questions, and moments when we choose to begin again.

This poem reflects my ongoing journey—one shaped by courage, curiosity, and the gentle acceptance that I am still becoming.

# A Journey of Self-Discovery #

I am in self-discovery mode.
I found myself
in pauses,
in questions,
in moments where I dared to begin again.

I once thought life was on autopilot—
it had given me a role,
a title,
a finish line.
But life smiled softly and said,
You are still becoming.

So I walked—
sometimes fast,
sometimes unsure,
sometimes afraid of my own shadow.
Yet every step whispered,
Keep going.

I discovered myself in simple things:
a thought spoken honestly,
a mistake turned into a lesson,
a dream I once chose to ignore.

I learned that creativity
is not perfection—
it is the courage to pursue.
The courage to try,
to change,
to trust my voice.

I stumbled.
I rose.
I grew.
And in that growing,
I met parts of myself
I never knew I needed.

This journey did not promise ease,
but it gave me truth.
It did not rush me,
but it made me real.

Now I walk differently—
with lighter steps
and brighter eyes.
I no longer ask,
Who am I meant to be?

I whisper,
I am discovering myself every day.

And that—
that is enough.
That is beautiful.
That is my journey.
