the one thing nobody will ever share

Sometimes I find a new song that moves me and I don’t want to share it.

Sometimes I learn something new and don’t want to pass it on.

Sometimes I find new places and don’t want to introduce anyone else to them.

Sometimes I try a new food and don’t want others to taste it.

Sometimes I keep some of the things I enjoy doing a secret because I don’t want others to love them too.

Sometimes I wish I could be REALLY good at one thing, instead of a well-rounded individual who is decent at many things.

The root? Well, I long to be unique. To be different. To stand out. To have something that is fully my own, something I don’t have to share.

And it’s because I forget. 

I forget that my Creator created me as unique, different, standing out, the only me there is.

By getting caught up in trying and striving a forget to be. I forget I already am who I am longing to be.

“Though it’s likely that others may share your talents and gifts, not one person on the planet, past, present, or future, shares your thumbprint.”

With this truth, my soul breathes. I relax. At ease.
