CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@cinnamon Resonating with a character and feeling a connection with them seems like a wonderful way to meet your name.

@gardencourt Names that grow on us, a little at a time, especially from something we create, feel like an important message from somewhere inside. I’m so happy you embraced your name.

@valsombra That’s a lovely name! Moments of clarity feel really good to me when it comes to names.

My name story goes like this.

In the dark of a spring night, I met myself for the very first time. I slept, exhausted.

With the dawn, I sought a guide. She nursed me, stunned, through my first day as myself. As night came, she asked me, gently, if I knew my name. I did not. I slept, wrapped in my acceptance of my femininity.

As I woke, my name was with me. She hid inside me through the morning, until I spoke her aloud while sitting beside my partner amidst a swirl of petals falling from the cherry blossoms.

That is how I met my name, “Willow.”
