Explore Raising Us →A Question Worth Living
Who are we becoming, and how much of that life have we consciously chosen?
So much of who we are takes shape before we are old enough to understand it. We learn what is expected of us, what earns approval, how relationships work, and who we need to be to belong.
But development doesn't end with childhood.
We continue to change through relationships, loss, love, work, parenting, aging, unexpected turns, and the choices we make along the way.
This is one of the questions I keep coming back to, both personally and in my work. Sometimes understanding what shaped us is the beginning of deciding what we want to carry forward, what we want to leave behind, and who we still want to become.
— Deanne
