If I were to describe myself as a spice, I would pick turmeric. Turmeric is that bright yellow spice you find especially in fried rice, and it's not just about color. It has character, strength, and healing power. I see myself in turmeric because it reminds me of how I try to live and show up in life.
One thing that stands out anytime you see turmeric is its bright color. You can't miss it. Once you put turmeric inside a meal, everything changes; its smell is unique, it turns golden, and it makes the food look lively. That's how I see myself too. I like to brighten any space my leg touches; I bring good energy and light wherever I go. I don't need to force attention on myself, but I always leave an impact that makes people feel my presence.
Turmeric is known for healing. For years, people have used it in traditional medicines to fight sicknesses, heal wounds, and make flawless skin. I remember using it together with red oil to remove dark spots on my face, and it worked, but I was getting lighter, so I had to stop. I love my chocolate complexion. Just as turmeric brings all this positive vibe energy in human health, I love being there for people too. I may not have a magical power like turmeric, but I always try to comfort and encourage others when they need it. is it listening ears, kind words, or just my presence; I am always available. I love the feeling of someone sad leaving my present smiling from ear to ear.
One major reason why turmeric fits me is because it is resilient. Turmeric has been used for ages, and it still matters to date. From old remedies to modern turmeric teas and lattes, it always finds its way to stay useful. Exactly my life. I don't give up easily, no matter the challenges I face. It might look as if I am bending, but I don't break. I keep showing up, learning, unlearning, and adapting while holding myself.
Lastly, if a spice would ever describe me, then turmeric is the perfect spice. Turmeric is bright like sunshine, healing like care, strong like resilience, and deeply rooted in culture and values. As turmeric makes food better, I hope I keep making life happier for people around me.
