Lumlom
Lumlom is a Tagalog word that loosely translates to "inner self," "innermost being," or "core." It refers to the deepest part of a person, encompassing their thoughts, feelings, character, and spirit. It is often used to describe the seat of one's true identity and the source of their moral compass. Lumlom is considered a deeply personal and often private aspect of an individual, representing their authentic self, free from external influences or societal pressures. Understanding one's lumlom is considered important for self-awareness and personal growth in Filipino culture.
