Finding Oneself

This is the hardest thing I have ever set out to do. Trying to find out who and what you is not easy. There are so many blind alleys, wrong turns, dead ends that sometimes it is hard to keep going. I know that I have thought about giving up more than once. Not only is it not easy, you find things out about yourself that you don't like. Sometimes, even things you had forgotten. Then, there are the things that you sometimes wish you could change because they make your life harder. Many of these are things you cannot change, they are a part of who you really are.

There is so much beneath the surface of most people, it's a shame that it often goes undetected. Even more so because it is not even realized by the people themselves.It is difficult and time consuming and can be very scary at times. You can dig up some stuff from your past you'd have thought better left buried. Not really the best place for it, it can't be dealt with if it remains buried. Sometimes, you have to dig up old hurts and treat them or they can make things worse for you.

And then there can be problems if who you are doesn't fit with society. When you have to hide who you are because to do otherwise can make your life even harder. Or possibly have someone end your life because who you are is offensive to them.
