Listening Begins Within

I never meant to become a deep listener.
It wasn’t a skill I set out to master.

It happened because I became curious — I wanted to understand what I was really feeling inside myself.

To do that, I had to slow down and begin noticing.
My automatic thoughts.
My emotions.
The sensations and constrictions moving through my body.

I wanted to know what was true for me — beneath all the noise.
