"Finding yourself" is a weird phrase. Where did 'yourself' go in the first place for you to have to find it? Did you lose it, did it run away, did someone take it, did you lend it out? People say this phrase so often, I wonder if they ever evaluate the meaning of 'finding' yourself? I know what it's purported to mean....that you finally discover who you really are (after a Lifetime of not knowing your true self). But it begs the question, if you never knew who you were before...then who's Life have you been living all your Life?
Is it your Parents? Teachers? Is it Society's version of who you are suppose to be? And then this 'new' person that you found in yourself.....where did they come from? Wouldn't 'they' have had to develop 'their' personality from somewhere/person/s? So then you didn't really find 'yourself'didyah? You just found another person. And what if you find this new self and adopt it as your new 'you'.....what if - in a few years you don't like this 'new' self....what are yah gonna do with it? Lose it again? Go back to your 'old' self or do you 'find' yourself all over again?
It's all mind boggling isn't it? Well it's certainly something to think about before you use the phrase. Just admit to the fact that you are changing...it's a natural course of Life - Change! Be happy or sad with the change and move on in Life. Live!
