I think I found a name that might be mine. I spoke it over and over until it felt like sparks filled my mouth and ribs, and my head spun. I feel like this should be a sign that it is my name, but I'm /so/ worried about being wrong. I'm scared that it's not, and I would be stealing a name that wasn't mine. But there's a warmth unlike anything I've felt before. Like the star in my ribcage is /awake/ and burning and it's lovely. I want so badly to be right. But I'm just not sure...
That’s so beautiful, and I am so happy for you!
We can’t say for certain, of course, but the feeling of lightness and warmth and general overwhelming sensation is a really good sign.
Not everyone gets these sensations when they learn their name; & not everyone who gets these sensations are remembering their name, but it’s still a good sign, because it means you at least had a strong attachment to the name!
I know learning what may be your potential name is nerve-racking and scary, at times, but listen: it’s okay if it’s not your name. It happens to a lot of us, and it’s part of learning and remembering ourselves. You can use it and get a feel for it, or keep it to yourself a little longer to see if you can remember more. Either way is perfectly fine :)
In the meantime, if you’re not sure, you can send out a call with the name and any other potential info you remember about yourself and see if anyone else remembers similarly!
