Knowing yourself
December 26, 2012 § 1 Comment
I’m that age in my life where I’m starting to know myself more than I ever have before, yet I’ve never been more confused. At the age of 22, I’ve experiences a good handful of emotions to differentiate right from wrong, but that doesn’t stop me from making a bad decision.
With every decision I make, I’m bound to make a wrong one here and there. But I shouldn’t regret what’s done in the past right? Those bad decisions have shaped me into the person I are today … right?
Maybe I’m just a special case. I’ve found that it’s less regret than it is curiosity. There have been countless days I have played out the scene if I had just made a different decision. Yet, somewhere in the back of my mind, I know that if there was an identical situation that was to rise, I would make the same decision over and over.
I just need not forget, life is good. Sometimes I get caught up with stupid things, stupid people, stupid situations of a moment and forget. But when we’re able to do things simply because we feel like it, I’m reminded of how lucky I’ve always been.
Knowing yourself is a lifelong quest with endless discovery and understanding. There’s no definite answer, but maybe try focusing on your state of being rather than attempting to define what it is “to be.”
