"Coming Home to Myself" is a deeply personal reflection on identity, healing, and the journey of self-acceptance within a life of faith and service. It explores the tension between outward devotion and inward longing, questioning whether true presence, peace, and love can exist without first embracing one's own wounds. The narrative follows an intimate dialogue with the inner child-the part of the soul that still longs for gentleness, validation, and unconditional love.

Through slow, intentional introspection, the piece invites the reader to pause, breathe, and recognize that healing is not about striving but about allowing oneself to be seen, held, and transformed by grace. It is a meditation on surrender, on learning to receive as much as one gives, and on the quiet, unspoken truth that in God's eyes, we are already enough. Ultimately, it is a journey of coming home-not to a place, but to the deepest, most authentic self, where love and healing can finally take root.
