Somebody gave you your name on purpose. Find out why. There’s usually a story in it.
STILLNESS
WHAT THIS MEANS
Names are rarely accidents. Somebody chose yours out of a family line, a hope, a person they missed, or just a sound they liked, and that choice says something about what they wanted for you. Most people never ask, so the reason quietly leaves with whoever knew it.
Ask whoever named you how they decided, and ask while you can. Write the answer down wherever you keep things you want to still have in thirty years.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Has anyone told you the story behind your name?

- Your parents spent some of their best years driving you to practice. That was their time, given to you on purpose.
- The bus driver who said good morning every day for years is part of your childhood whether they know it or not.
- The friends you’ll reminisce with at sixty are being chosen right now, mostly by who you keep texting back.
