There were former versions of me
who carried doubt like a coat
that never quite fit.

They hesitated.
They questioned.
They tried very hard to please
a world that wasn’t always gentle.

It took a few quiet turning points
to understand something important:

Faith doesn’t always arrive loudly.

Sometimes faith is just
continuing anyway.
Trying again.
Believing that growth is happening
even when you can’t see it.

I don’t resent my former selves.

They were necessary.
They were learning.
They were doing the best they knew how.

And today, I carry faith —
not perfectly,
but willingly .
