This is me right now

What is love?
Perhaps I am just not sure

What is happiness?
Maybe my idea of happiness is different from what I thought

What is contentment?
Could it be that I am just asking for too much.. Or expecting a lot from you

What is fairness?
What? I don’t think it exists… at least not in this world (I am not sure if fairness exist ... yet I would fight for it)

What is assertiveness?
It sure is something that I am missing right now

What is confusion?
Exactly what I am feeling right now


>

It feels as if I am evolving… and it’s painful, it’s frustrating, it’s confusing …..
I am evolving into what? I have no idea, all I have are questions and there are no answers..
Could it be a quarter life crisis? I have no idea …..

I need to find myself.. I can’t even recognize myself sometimes… it feel as if I am not me anymore. In the outside it looks like me but in the inside it doesn’t feel like me… but then again who was I before? How do I know that was the real me? I am still in the same place I started, one question after another one… the answers that I get formulate another question.. and another one and another… ultimately I end up being more confused than before.

Don’t get me wrong… I pretty much have the same philosophy and hold the same principles that I had since the beginning of this “confusion” but I am still confused about other things….

The worst part is that people still come to me for advice… I had to tell them to make their own decisions … that probably it's time for them to find the answers within themselves… something that I haven’t been able to do for myself.

What do I want?
I don’t know

What do I need?
Who knows?

Why do I feel this way?
I don’t know but I know I must remain positive and I am somewhat positive……
I must see it as an opportunity…. To re-evaluate myself, to find myself and to prepare for what might be coming… the one theory I can make out of this, is that “maybe” my mind is preparing for something… preparing for a change…. What kind of change?? I have no idea… will it be a positive change? I really hope so, I hate drama. But like I keep saying “everything happens for a reason” (I guess this should be my motto) There are no good or bad experiences… I believe it is just neutral; we make it bad or good depending on what we get out of it. In the end I think everything is what we make of it. Change is coming ….. I just hope I make a good thing off of it.

I'm sure that whatever is coming, you will turn it around so that it will benefit you. Your soul is just beautiful like that. I know that you can make it through whatever is coming...and you'll make it through stronger. Be blessed, beautiful.

All my ♥

Oooh, an existential crisis.
The best thing about becoming a new you, is that there is so much more to explore and to discover. Exciting times :)

Ohhh I feel like I could have written this myself. But you're optimism at the end is what we should focus on. Change is hard though-I'm going through sooo much change right now. Nice to know I'm not the only one! :)

God..you sound like me! Change and acceptance are two of the things that pulled me through to the other side.

i know exactly how you feel! for almost all my life i was so sure where i was heading but recently i can't picture myself being the person i wanted to be!

I am sure that everything will work out in the end but it is frustrating not knowing!

I completely understand where you are coming from! I'm experincing my own quarter life crisis and don't know exactly where this will end up and all I can do is embrace change, because it is inevitable. Hope all is well with you.

Oh, and when you figure out wtf love is, could you please let me know? :) Because I have no idea. XO

The most useful part of self discovery is that you learn about acceptance. Acceptance of who you are; acceptance of who you used to be; acceptance of who you are becoming. Things happen, people come and go, lives change. And we learn to accept and adapt and grow. It's a beautiful thing, really.

Enjoy the journey.
