How do you find yourself? There are many ways people find their true authentic self. Honestly it’s a working process for me. Throughout my life I’ve tried my hardest to find that authentic woman that is inside of me. I honestly don’t have a clue. It’s crazy that I have a blog that is called “EXPRESS OneSelf,” but I’m stuck trying to find myself. In all honestly, it’s a journey to get to that place.
I feel as though I compare myself to everyone. I am a single, college educated woman with no children. I’m doing good so far (unless you count the college debt I got…why?). Oh by the way I’m 27 years old, working two jobs just to pay the bills, while finding time to eat, sleep and clean up my apartment that I haven’t decided if I am going to be doing month-to-month, six months or a whole year again. I’m adulting! UGH! Let’s get back to the topic at hand shall we…
Finding yourself, or in better terms, “myself,” there is no layout 12 steps (in which people have written on the topic countless of times). The only person that knows you better (besides God, or whatever your beliefs are) is basically you. Yes, yourself. I woke up yesterday (too bad I didn’t screenshot the post), but it was talking about how we compare ourselves to others…. I wonder, which everybody as told me this countless of times this line, but what if I was directing this to myself. What if, the person that I keep comparing myself to is myself. I’m comparing where I should be in the future. I know that was deep right. I’m always looking at the past and future of myself wondering in my present “What the hell am I doing? I didn’t plan this for my life!” I know, this is so mind botting right.
I believe in this moment right now, that inner person, child you can call it, is trying to really tell yourself something. I’m really having an Inside Out (the movie) moment about the feeling that I’m feeling about myself and I will say that it is okay. I also believe that the art of finding yourself is meeting yourself half way to have that conversation with yourself. OneSelfers, the journey to finding your authentic self is so not built in a day. The days, weeks, months and years may roll by, but when that day comes, DAMN…the whole world will know including yourself. We go this OneSelfers. Until next time OneSelfer!
