What you’re experiencing is real growth Arvid, those “mirror moments” aren’t signs of being lost, but signs that you’re becoming more honest and aligned with yourself. Doubt doesn’t mean you’re off track; it often means you’re on the verge of clarity.
Asking these deeper questions is courage in action, and the fact that you’re willing to look, reflect, and keep moving says everything about your strength. Keep exploring. You’re unfolding beautifully Arvid!

Arvid, it’s truly a pleasure of mine to watch your progression. You have explained yourself very well here with the mirror analogy like Chandracshekar said.

Yes, you are absolutely right that it’s not that you arrived at a perfection definition of who you are but to keep exploring, keep asking questions, and keep growing. Hence it’s a journey and progression. Keep enjoying the process!

In reply to Chandrashekar.

Chandrashekar, you have captured very well how Arvid expressed his journey and where he is at.

Isn’t it beautiful to follow each other’s journey here?

“Who am I? What do I really, really want?” I think that even knowing to ask these questions is magnificent. Most people exist in “the river” not realizing there is more, much more. And yes, always growing is a good space to be in!

This is a profoundly moving and beautifully honest piece, Arvid. You’ve put words to that quiet, internal dialogue so many of us have but struggle to articulate. The metaphor of the shifting mirror is powerful and exact.

I find great comfort in your conclusion. You’re right—the journey isn’t about finding a final, fixed answer, but about having the courage to keep asking the questions. The fact that you’re engaging so deeply with your own reflection is a testament to your authenticity, not self-deception. Thank you for this reminder that we are all works in progress. Please keep writing.
