Tell Me Who You Walk With, and I’ll Tell You Who You Are

They always told us:

Tell me who you walk with, and I’ll tell you who you are,

as if the soul could be infected

by someone else’s path,

as if crossing steps

could make you lose your way.

But the truth is different.

People misunderstand the saying.

“Tell me who you walk with, and I’ll tell you who you are”

is true—

but only if we speak in terms of frequency.

Because it’s very different

to feel at ease with someone

than to repeat their same mistakes.

You are not what others do.

You are what you hold inside.

You choose your own path,

and those who vibrate like you

choose theirs.

Life doesn’t divide them,

it brings them together,

so they can learn

from each other.

I’ve walked alongside those who carry storms,

because I know life

left them no other choice.

And I’ve loved them—

not for what they did,

but for what I saw in their hearts.

I saw their broken souls—

and yet, still glowing.

So yes,

tell me who you walk with,

and I’ll tell you who you are,

but by how your frequency

resonates with theirs—

not to judge you,

but to remind you

that you too are searching for love,

just like everyone else.

What you attract

is not a copy of what you do,

but a mirror

of what vibrates within you.

And sometimes, the soul leads you

to walk alongside chaos

so you may remember your compassion—

to illuminate what others

dare not face.

So,

if you ever see me walking

with someone you don’t understand,

don’t be quick to judge.

See me for who I am,

for how I listen,

for how I walk with you,

and for how I never look away

from what hurts—

and then,

you’ll truly know who I am.
