the end.

day 30 - who are you?

I am... a daughter. a sister. an aunt. a friend. a student. a girl.

This question reminds of a scene in "Eat, Pray, Love" when she is Italy and her friends are dicussing what word discribes them the best. Everyone has a word, just one that is who they are. When asked, she responds by using words like writer, friend, etc. They tell her that's what she is, not who she is. So she responds that she's in search of a word... (I couldn't find the exact conversation online.)

I think that fits me perfectly. I'm in search of who am. I know what I believe, I know what I love, what I want, but that's not WHO I am. I don't know who I am, but that really doesn't worry me, surprisingly. I've never been more free in my life, I've never been more comfortable with myself than I am right now. Life is about the adventure... and experiences. Finding yourself is all about how you handle those adventures and experiences. I don't know who I am, and I'm ok with that. One day, I might figure it out, but until then I'm just going to go with flow, make the most of what comes my way, and see where life takes me.
