Being Me

I have to say, over the last year my life has changed more drastically than ever before... I think. I shifted from a life of "relative comfort," which stemmed from familiarity, not actual comfort, to a life of constant struggle and growing and learning.

It's not easy to "learn" life's lessons, the lessons that can only be taught by pounding a hammer on your head a thousand times.

But through stepping out of my comfort or rather, familiar zone, I have had the rare opportunity to discover something new.... ME!

I think most of us can easily get buried in the day to day stuff, and in a sense lose ourselves. For most I think it takes a real big moment or experience in life to get them to step back and evaluate things, I know that's how it worked for me. But I feel a determination to never lose myself again. And also a determination to also be making me, the best me I can be.

This isn't always easy, in fact somedays I'm just poop tired and want to phone it in. But then I remember my vow to myself. So I continue to rediscover... in order to live... in order to not disappear.

No, I'm no where near perfect, but I sure do like myself better today, than I did yesterday, and the day before that. I can be me, and I like me.
