There’s a big difference between impersonating someone and having them live inside you.

✨ Impersonation is imitation. It’s copying the way someone talks, walks, or behaves — often surface-level, sometimes performative.

🧠 Embodiment or having someone inside you means their values, voice, or presence are part of who you are. You’re shaped by their influence, not just mimicking it — you’re carrying their essence, their wisdom, their lessons.

Whether it’s a mentor, a loved one, or someone you’ve lost — you’re not pretending to be them.
You’re honoring them by letting who they were shape who you are becoming
