My Home

Lately I have been thinking and feeling(which is very important hahaha) that I am growing older. My friend recently said " welcome to your late 20's Arke!"

 And it made me so happy. My inner child is screaming out of joy. Around the age of 4-8, I would tell myself "I can't wait to grow up faster. I wish to live a long and happy life"

And here I am, living and learning, recently turned 26. I can proudly say my life is full. However, there is an infinite curiosity within whispering "i wonder what else is out there to learn" 

I have made so many friends, met beautiful people and still meeting more. I am truly blessed. As a kid I used to get upset over a thought " I wish the world could see these beautiful people I am meeting". Even the thought of my parents, I wished the world could see how beautiful my parents were...How simple, authentic, inspiring and unique people are.

Recently, I have realised when people give me compliments, saying "You're so authentic, inspiring, loving and kind", I feel so much gratitude and pride.

Wait till you know that "I" is "We". I am who I am and still evolving, because of the people I met. Thanks to you, thanks to my ancestors, my parents, my family, friends, co-workers, baristas, waiters, strangers, hikers, builders, gardeners, cashiers, drivers, artists, musicians, poets, activists, monks, nuns - people. Us on Earth, everyone has taught me something about generosity, kindness, love, what love is not, betrayal, anger, hunger, fear, courage, suffering, compassion, voice. You taught me all along to be me, and who I am is every piece of We. 

It started with "We". I have nothing in this world and knew nothing either, how to talk, walk, feel, nothing.

It is been all taught here on Earth, by people. And "I" have grown from We and here I am back to We and Us. And now, I am no longer sad, when you see me, you see the beauty and love I was shown from everyone I met here. Strangely enough, it feels like I found my home. Our lovely planet Earth  

Eternally greatul to be One and We.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Sincerely, 

Arke
