THE SOUL OF THE WORD

What word Carries

Origin

Old English beforan — “in front, earlier.”

Meaning

The time that precedes a change; the memories, moments, and choices.

A Moment Within

Before adulthood hardened me, I was a child who believed everything was possible. Looking at old photos, I see that wild hope in my eyes. Before is for the person I was, the softer version who shaped me. I own this word because honoring the beginning helps me understand who I became.
