I can’t help but think people are being a little silly when they say, “I need to find myself.” You’re lost? Then who am I talking to?
I can’t help but think it’s selfish to “find yourself” if that involves leaving a spouse and children behind.
Really, what’s the point? By the time you find yourself, you will have changed.
I think it’s better to decide who you want to be, then take the steps to become that person. It’s really what we all do anyway, it’s just that some try to abdicate responsibility by pretending they have no control over who they are or who they become.
So take some time, think about who you really want to be, and then make it happen.
There are some things in life you can’t control, but make sure you take care of those things you can control. At least you’ll know you did your best and you will know you’ve been true to yourself.
