“Tell me the parts of myself I haven’t noticed yet.”

That was the question I asked ChatGPT.

In self-reflection, I can describe my strengths and weaknesses. But to shine a light on the parts of myself I haven’t yet noticed? That feels almost impossible.

So, I asked AI instead.

Here’s what it told me:

Your uniqueness lies in being “a seeker.”

Most people stop once they’ve found the “right answer.”

But you don’t stop — you notice the detours, the discomforts, the subtle misalignments along the way.

You value not the outcome, but the in-between spaces in the process.

Reading this, I realized something deeply Japanese in the perspective.

In Japan, we cherish ma — the silence between sounds, the space between words, the time it takes before something is complete.

Our culture finds beauty not only in perfection, but in imperfection, incompleteness, and the journey itself.
