I hear many people say that they are waiting to start their lives or are trying to find themselves. I admit that at one point I was one of those people, but then I realized how ludicrous those statements are. Who you are is whoever you have chosen to be, and yes everyone has already chosen. While they may not like that person, it was every single choice that they ever made that led to the creation of them. Life doesn’t begin once your goals are accomplished and you are comfortable with where you are. Life began a long time ago when the concepts of right and wrong were discovered.
I may not be thrilled with where I am right now, but I recognize that it is because of my own faults that I am here. I also recognize that I will not be stuck here forever as long as I take the active steps to move forward. What I don’t know is the “who I am” aspect.
How does one even answer that question? Is it a matter of beliefs or personality types or talents or interests? I suppose those aren’t bad places to start.
One of my best friends and I are deeply interested in astrology and I am proud to say that I am a Scorpio and the characteristics of that sign fit me to a tee. I am passionate, perceptive, resourceful, possessive, and determined. I am talented artistically, but by no means the next Michelangelo. I simply enjoy sketching and sculpting. I also enjoy journaling and reading. I am obsessed with one book series in particular: Harry Potter. I can pretty much compare any aspect of my life with something in Harry Potter. I am religious and am actively practicing that religion. I also associate with a political party and try to stay up-to-date on current issues. I take pleasure in learning new things and sharing ideas with others.
