I Want to Know the Real You

Darling Wild Soul,

How are you—really? Not the polite version. Not the smile-and-nod. I mean… how is your heart?

This isn’t small talk. This is soul talk.

I want to know what stirs you. What breathes joy into your bones. What gives you faith when the night stretches too long. What brings you back to life—again and again—when you’ve been worn down by lists, labels, or the weight of the world.

Is it the ocean’s roar under a full moon? The smell of bread rising in a warm kitchen? The stars that stretch out like forever?

Or maybe it’s something no one else would understand—but it moves you anyway.

I want to know. Even just for a moment. Let’s promise to keep it honest. To keep it true. Not just in our grand declarations, but in the quiet spaces between.

Because I believe this: Every time we share what’s real, we stitch the fabric of our humanity a little closer back together.

And that—that is no small thing.

With love always,

Sonia
