How important is spirituality in your life?

I wouldn’t call myself deeply religious, but I do find a quiet kind of peace in the rituals that surround faith.

There’s something deeply calming about the mantras, the soft ringing of bells, the faint scent of incense wafting through temple air. It creates a space that feels safe — not because of any particular belief, but because of the stillness it invites. I often visit temples for my parents — out of love, respect, and tradition. It’s our quiet way of staying connected, of showing up for each other, even through rituals that may mean different things to each of us.

But while I may not follow every ritual strictly, one belief that deeply resonates with me is karma — the idea that what you put into the world eventually finds its way back to you. Maybe not immediately, maybe not in the way you expect, but it returns.

That belief shapes how I try to live. I make an effort to stay positive, to speak kindly, to support others, and to give without always expecting something in return. Not because it’s easy — it isn’t — but because I truly believe that energy is real. And what we send out into the world has a way of shaping not only our lives, but the lives around us.

That’s also why I try to surround myself with uplifting people — those who bring light, who challenge me gently, who help me grow without draining my spirit. Over time, I’ve learned the importance of protecting my energy, especially in a world that often feels loud and overwhelming.

Faith, for me, isn’t rigid. It’s fluid. It’s found in small acts of kindness, in intentional living, in choosing peace over noise. And sometimes, it’s found in a quiet temple visit — not out of fear or obligation, but from a place of love and reflection.

In the end, I think that’s what it’s all about: living with intention, giving with heart, and staying rooted in what feels true to you.
