Remembering What We Were Never Taught

Why is it that some truths don’t feel new—they feel like something we’ve known all along?

Not learned, not discovered… remembered.

I’ve had moments in life when a single sentence, a passing image, or a silent encounter hit me with such clarity it felt like a bell ringing through my bones. Not because it taught me something I didn’t know—but because it stirred something I had known… before the noise.

It’s strange, isn’t it? How we spend so much of life being taught—what to think, how to behave, which truths to trust. We’re given systems, doctrines, rules. And yet, the most profound moments of awakening often come from somewhere else entirely.

Not from books.
Not from institutions.
Not from external authorities.

But from the quiet, persistent hum of the soul.

I remember one particular time, sitting with someone I loved, both of us unsure of what to say. The air was thick with emotion. We didn’t have the words. But something unspoken passed between us—an understanding deeper than language. In that moment, I realized we weren’t learning how to connect—we were remembering how. It was always in us.

That same kind of remembering happens when we recognize love. When we look at the stars and feel both small and infinite. When a piece of art or a stranger’s voice shakes us to the core. It’s as if we already know what matters most—we just forgot.

This post isn’t about answers. It’s about the courage to trust what resonates before it’s explained.

If your heart says yes before your mind can catch up, that’s soul memory speaking.
If you feel a pull toward something that makes no logical sense, listen to that.

Because the deepest truths—the ones that shape our paths and heal our hearts—don’t come from being taught. They come from remembering.

And if you're ready to remember what was never written in textbooks or whispered in classrooms, Whispers of the Wild: The Story of the Forgotten Cubs might be your invitation back. Back to the place within you that has always known.

The place that was never lost—just waiting.
