In a post I wrote a few weeks ago I asked myself who am I? Who is this person typing these posts, who I see in the mirror? It’s a serious question, one I didn’t take lightly when I seek out the answer, and I continue to search for the answer. Its a never ending quest. Not just for me but all of us, we are constantly learning new things about ourselves and new things about who we are as people and in the roles we play.
The roles I play are common: daughter, sister, friend, girlfriend, employee, TSS, niece, grand-daughter, cousin. But I am also a writer, poet, singer, avid reader, idealist and so much more. I realized the other day that there is more to me than I give myself credit for let alone what other people give me credit for. Who I am is made up of so many different things, it isn’t what I look like or what I do. It’s who I am and how I present myself to others in a sense. If I constantly mask who I am from the people around me then it is easier to lose sight of who the real Jenn is. The real Jenn has always been compassionate, but I lost some of my compassion, patience and other things.
I have lost contact with who the real me is and I didn’t realize it. It took something drastic and tragic to happen for me realize I needed to do something different and find myself again. The past month or so I have been working learning myself once more. I have learned new things about myself and ventured out to try new things to learn who I am. And honestly I am happy with the person that I am, not the person I was. I am who I am and I happy with it…
