What it Means to be Known

known

/nōn/adjective

1. recognized, familiar, or within the scope of knowledge.

Known, as we see above, means recognized, familiar, or within the scope of knowledge. When you think about the places or relationships where you’re known in your life - do you feel recognized in those spaces? This is the kind of recognition that acknowledges what you're going through, sees the different parts of your character, and understands some of your deepest desires. It could include the familiar faces that in some way represent comfort to you. The kind of relationships that you are understood, without having to say anything at all. Maybe it’s the people you've grown up with that have known you from the beginning of your life, or your family unit, or friends you have in this stage of life. These places and people might feel like true “home”, your safe space, earthly source of refuge and comfort.Hopelessness, depression, anxiety and so many mental health issues can stem from not feeling known. If each one of us were truly known by someone, I wonder how the world would change.
