Curious, Always

𝗩𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗠. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹


Someone once asked me, “If you were a word, what would you be?”

There are thousands of words to choose from,

but one always stands out to me.

If I had to be a word, I’d be curious.


I try different things, not because I’m the best at them,

but because I want to understand, to learn, to explore.

Curiosity keeps me going.

It pushes me to ask questions, even when there are no clear answers.


I enjoy discovering new ideas, even if they’re confusing at first.

Trying something new is scary sometimes,

but I choose to keep going, not for perfection,

but for the joy of learning something I didn’t know yesterday.


So if you ask me again what word I’d be,

it won’t be strong or smart or kind.

It will be curious,

because that’s how I grow.
