Light Finds Me

October 24, 2025

I have incredible people in my life—

kind, loving, thoughtful, capable, present.

Everywhere I go,

goodness meets me in unexpected ways.

It still catches me off guard sometimes—

how much care exists in the world when your eyes are open to it.

Today, I felt it a thousandfold.

I stopped by the office for something simple

and ended up in one of those rare, soul-level conversations.

The kind that lands deep in the chest.

The kind that reminds you: you are seen, you are valued, you matter.

I shared pieces of my story I don’t usually say out loud.

She listened with her whole body—eyes shining, heart wide open.

Tears welled up as she took in the weight of this year, the magnitude of all I’ve carried.

She didn’t try to fix it. She just held space—steady, present, human.

Moments like that mean so much to me

Because I used to believe that kind of presence was rare.

But it turns out, it’s everywhere—because that’s what I bring in.

That’s what I call forth.

And yes—

I also bring in the others.

The predators. The users. The hurting and the needy.

For a long time, I thought that was all I attracted.

But now I know better.

I can see the difference.

And when the bad shows up,

I know how to refuse it,

or, if somehow it does sneak through,

I am able to recognize it a lot sooner

and let it go.

Because the same light that used to blind me

now helps me see clearly—

who’s safe, who’s not,

and how much beauty still exists in between.

I used to search for the good.

Now I simply expect it—

and it keeps showing up.
