Khouzhan Avery here!
Something that has truly rang true for me this past year as being a noviatiate is truly finding out and being ME. This quote has always meant something to me, but as I look at it now, it takes on a whole new meaning. I truly have had so many changes, and I have found and owned me for many months.....I hope you all can do the same!
All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking or myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~ Ralph Ellison
