I may have lost my way ..

So, I'm feeling alittle stuck ..


This feeling always seems to come back, and that's probably because I never actually deal with it, or try to figure things out and work through them. It's just so hard to put my finger on what's really wrong with me. I have however come to the conclusion, with the help of none other than iris lol, that only I can fix this. It's kind of all in my hands ...


Perhaps Im trying to just figure out who I really am, and I know everyone goes through this, it's just alittle harder for me. I feel so guarded, and can't find any reasoning behind it. I feel I never fully give myself fully to others. The fact that i really barely know myself, doesn't allow me to let others in. Sure, I have my relationships with people and what not, but it's always to a certain extent. I feel I just give out pieces of me, rather than my all. Everyone I know kinda gets a different piece.

So, I was asked how I percieve myself, and I had some difficulty with that question, so let me try my best to answer that question now ...

I percieve myself as an overall good person. I care for others, and always try to put myself in others shoes.I am a good friend, good listener, and loyal. However, I can be overly sensitive at times. I truly takes things to the heart, I dont necessarily see that to always be a bad thing, but it is the truth. I often compare myself to others to much, which only conflicts with my perception of myself. Sometimes I try to act according to what others defintions of me are. (not a good thing to do, I know) I lack confidence in many different ways. I have a fear of rejection. I'm the type of girl that gets pushed aside because those who aren't afraid get ahead, pass right by me, and go for it, while I hesitate. I'm the type of person who put's another's feelings before mine. I am a believer in all forms of karma, however sometimes I think good karma will never reach me. I'm an easy read, wear my emotions right on my sleeve. I sometimes let the little things get to me, I can't help it. I enjoy alchohol way too much, probably because it sort of breaks down my wall temporarily. I always try to see the good in others. I have an active imagination, and often fantasize of the way I wish I could be .. I'm one of those people who should take their own advice, and sometimes when given advice, I take it in, but in the end still stick to what my intial thought was (lol) . I' have a positive outlook when it comes to others, but a negative one when it comes to me. Well, I like to use the word "realistic" rather than negative. I have more hope in others than I do myself. And basically, I feel it's time for a lot of change, but at the same time, I need to learn to feel comfortable in my own skin ..



That was a little hard, and all over the place but that is how I view myself. Heck, everyone else might have completely different views on me, but those are mine and I guess that's what should matter the most right?


Now .. where to go from here?

If you read what you wrote about yourself, you obviously have an idea about who you are. In a very healthy way you are able to awknowledge you faults as well as your traits. Perhaps the question isnt really who you are..and maybe you havent lost you way at all. Perhaps you are on your way to getting you know yourself as time and life goes on and the question really is WHEN? When will you let yourself LIVE your life & not let life live you!
