where's waldo // adventures in self discovery
On the journey to revamping who I am as a parent and questioning my 'Mommy Motives,' I soon found myself questioning just about every aspect of my life. The more I learned, the more I discovered and the more I questioned - it's an endless spiral.
A lot of my beliefs and opinions have since changed because of this. For the first time in my life I am truly thinking for myself and it is leading me to terrifying and wonderful places. I feel free - or at least as free as one can feel through the process of unlearning problematic behaviours - and for the first time I am starting to truly feel like myself. I am starting to truly settle in and feel comfortable and vibrant in my own wonderful skin. It is a strange and yet humbling thing to experience, and even though I feel it's a bit late in coming I am glad to be experiencing it at all. I am happy to be discovering my true self.
But even that begs more questions. Do we ever find ourselves completely? Who we are is ever-changing and that is what makes life much like a giant labyrinth. We are forever changing and forever redefining who we are as we experience and learn, change and grow. True self discovery remains forever just outside our grasp and line of sight.
Does this mean we should give up the seemingly fruitless search? I personally don't think so. I think there is a time for searching and a time for settledness. Seasons of change and seasons of contentment as life ebs and flows. It's part of the great journey that is the human experience, constantly growing and changing and learning as life happens all around you. You are who you need to be in each passing season, then you take what you can from that and learn, grow, change once more. Often times they are small, nearly imperceptible changes, but for me - right now, in this season - they are big.
Big and exciting and scary and important.
I am ready to become who I am.
