finding_myself stupidpunkgirl i need to find myself. how can i like myself if i don't know who i am? how could anyone else? how can i be confident in my abilities if i'm not sure what they are. i am so unaware of what i am. i am so naive what am i? 010103 ... WingedSerpent i_looked_under_a_rock_and_found ...me 010103 ... silentbob i was about fourteen when i started to realize who i was and what i appreciated and what it meant to feel that way and why it was important to love and to thirst for information. a little late if you ask me. before that i was a ghost. emily...maybe people see the potential have to putting more emily in yourself and they like that about you. You're a chill girl, that's all it takes. to make more emily in your emily, you have to think about everything a million times and think about why its right and why its wrong and how youfeel and all that jazz...if you havent already. i know you, but i don'tknow you that well. 010104 ... Quiggz Why do we all try to find "ourselves"? Who we are constantly changes, we metamorphose throughout our lives. Who we are is made by what we do, and how we feel about things that happen. Time is a better teacher of who we are, than we can ever be. Why be in a rush to find out who you are? When you find out, what'll you do with the information? Because yourself is who you've been all along, it's just that you didn't realize it. I personally think we should just chill out and find who we are along the way to where ever it is we're going to. 010105 ... Quiggz Why do we all try to find "ourselves"?

WingedSerpent i'm finally beginning to realize that perhaps i'm better off not knowing where i left me. 020107 ... SuicidalAngel The more I find, the more I wish I would have gotten lost on the journey here. 020107 ... shivers - smile empty soul i prefer pretending that i am exactly who i want to be 040529 ... mytwohands this is so cliche yet so important. and i guess the reason it seems so cliche is because everyone has to do it if they can really ever live. 050601 ... skyburst777 in the painting 050602 ... Lemon_Soda You don't "find" yourself, you "decide" yourself. Finding yourself implies somebody else put you together and hid you off somewhere. You are who you decide to be. Look at how you act, how you feel, and how you think. You decided ALL of that. And you can change it, too. It is not everyone elses fault. They presented you with situations. YOU decided how you will react to them and what you will believe based on them. One cannot blame anyone but themselves for who they are. And noone can make them who they want to be except the person in question. No matter what circumstance or an individual has done, blaming them and sitting on the hurt is not going to make it better. They couldn't go into the past and fix it if they wanted to. It happened. It sucked. Did you decide that that was terrible and so everythings terrible and thats how your going to see it all now? It won't be easy. Change hurts. But it will be worth it. example: You think this guy is hot. You get with him. He breaks your heart. You decide that all guys suck as this is the third time this has happened. THIS LOGIC IS FLAWED! All guys DONOT suck else woman would've killed us down to two percent of the population and then only kept us around for breeding purposes. It is true that these three guys suck. Do not date these three sucky guys anymore. But don't hate every other guy because of it aswell. Don't decide you suck, don't decide love is over and never will be, don't think trust doesn't exist, and Don't blame the rest of the world. Mayhap you might consider changing the type of guy you go for, or perhaps get to know the guy you like more before you commit your heart to them. All learning is based on repetition. The more something is reinforced, the more often and more potently it effects you. If you keep thinking about something, it will proliferate itself into a gospel truth if you give it enough time. So give some credence to what it is you think about all the time. This is what all those ancient philosphers refer to when they say discipline of the mind. It is the weakest will that takes the first thing presented, and it is self damnation to fight for it when it clearly doesn't make you happy. 050602 ... . . 050602 ... misstree i do not need to find myself i need to recultivate myself the wrong kind of plants are choking out the garden and each time my heart is broken i know that it was worth the trip and even if it wasn't, i learned. always try to get better. 050602 what's it to you? who go blather from
