I've been thinking about this 'discovering my true self' business ... somehow it sounds kinda weird - it infers that I don't know who I am, and I don't believe that to be the case.
I think it's more a case of remembering who I am, rather than discovering who I am; discovery has that inference of finding something for the first time.
I do know who I am, I've known it all these years I've been in isolation/seclusion - I've just been hiding from it because I felt that it was being me that took me/resulted in me being in that dark place.
Some might say that means I just need to 'toughen up' a bit. But that would not be being me.
I have told myself in the past (in the blog) that I need to be more balanced (eg less giving of myself) - but that would not be being me either.
Hmmmm I think that it's not discovering me/finding me that I need to do - I think maybe it's more accepting who I am, and becoming more comfortable with that that I need to do.
I need to be more at peace with who I am - and the consequences that can bring.
That last sentence reads very strangely to me when I read it back .... because I don't really feel uncomfortable with who I am, and I know that comes across to other people (cos they tell me).
So what is it I am looking for?
