To be known

I was pondering the idea of being known and how important I find it to be.

Awareness of who you truly are, what you find important, what you want your life to be about.

As I was lost in this introspective space, I also began to wonder about this little boy that will be brought into the world in a few months.

He has never been known.

How amazing.

Who will he be, intrinsically? How much of a person is their upbringing and how much is just truly them?

How much of life do I let him figure out on his own and explore and create… how much do I guide?

What will he think about this life? How much of his perspective will he gain from my views without me even being aware of it (scary!!!)

I wonder about these things.

Oh little one, I can’t wait to meet you.
