No One Tells You The Hardest Part Of Your Spiritual Journey

She asked me this with wide, innocent eyes. Not with sarcasm, but with a curious heart.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

It’s when your entire identity crumbles slowly.
Everything you once clung to for meaning — your relationships, image, dreams, and beliefs — slowly dissolves like salt in water.

It happens quietly, in silent moments.
