"You can't know what you want until you know who you are"
At some point in every life people struggle with who they are. It's a tough question. Recently when I was filling out some college stuff they asked me to describe myself in three words. It was unbelievably tough. I have yet to complete that assignment. I was always a person against "finding yourself". I don't think you can go off to the middle of the woods for days and just magically know who you are and what you stand for. I think the whole point of life is to create yourself. To become someone that you can be proud of. To be content and learn to love yourself for who you are inside.
There are lots of people in my life who find themselves then struggle with loving themselves. Weather its loving what they look like, or what their life is like. I think its the worst thing you can do for yourself. You have to love yourself and be there for yourself. When the whole world turns against you, you should be there standing strong for yourself. No one can love you if you don't love yourself. i think that people see you how you see yourself. So if you see someone terrible and unlovable thats what everyone else is going to see too.
There is something good about everyone. No one is 100% evil. I can't bring myself to believe that and you shouldn't either. I am the kind of person who has a big wall up and I don't let very many people over the wall. It's hard for me to show exactly what I am, partly because I don't know myself. So i've always been the kind of person that doesn't judge a book by its cover. I know that there's always more then there seems to be. Inside whatever disguise people put on to the world, there's a person. A great one at that, because god makes no mistakes baby you were born that way.
