Who am I???

Hey everyone...I cannot give a genre to what the writing is below you. Maybe it is just a paragraph of words, or it is just my personal feelings. Please read and enjoy... This is about just life and the questions and answers about who you are and what you want to be. View table of contents...

Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? I am so confused about life. How do we know when we are truly ourselves? I have this problem....I don't open up to people very easily. I don't know why, but I just hold back like I am scared of something. I have no idea who I am. I know what I like to do, eat, and stuff like that, but truly, who am I? I know that i am so young, and shouldn't be worried about this question that cannot be answered in a lifetime but it keeps coming back to me.

Maybe you can help me. Here are some of my favorite things to do: I love to play VOLLEYBALL...haha the best sport in the world. I absolutely LOVE to write POETRY. When I am writing poetry; that is when I feel I am truly connected with myself. I love to EAT..no really it is true! I love to be CREATIVE and to do PROJECTS. I know that I love to help PEOPLE> i know that sounds cheezy but it is sooo true...when I help other people i feel more like myself. I also love religion...haha this is also cheezy but it is so true....

Here are my ambitions in life: I want to go to college...DUH but I want to study at Dartmouth College, which is Ivy League so I have no idea if I can get in there! I want to TRAVEL...ahhh sooo bad. My favorite channel is the Travel Channel...no joke I am a total dork! I would love to travel to Africa or like Ecuador and help people. The one place I would kill to go to is the GALAPAGOS ISLANDS! AHHH.... all of the animals and everything! So gorgeous and isolated....haha i am smiling even thinking about it. I really want to make an impact on this world....somehow

I worry about where I am going too much. I don't live in the moment. How can I learn to do that? Or is it something that cannot be learned? Please help me...

Who am I?

You dont need to live in the moment. And it's wonderful that you are religious and want to help people. I'm the same way. More so now. I've found so many answers by asking God, and hearing stories, and reading the bible. Take some time, ask God your questions, and never give up hope or faith. That's my advice. It worked for me. =) Mandy

Human as we are, we do have a lot of fears. This prevents us to express what we love and who we really are. Rejection is one of man's greatest fear. Thus, we often wear masks around people. We want to be counted in, we want to be part of the group. Hence, we leave our true self hidden and unexposed.

But, there are always moments when we look deeper within ourselves---tracing, searching, knowing---and get to re-discover who we really are. ^^

thank you so much! :) i really appreciate you taking the time and helping me out! -love zia

i think that in large part we are defined by our experiances, i find the more knowledgeable people, those who are more in touch with themselves are the ones who have thown themselves at the world. followed there hearts into every corner and explored the people and the earth around them. in my opinion all you have to do is as much as you can for as many people as you can in as many places as possible and life will take care of the rest.aristotle said to allways question, the only truth is the truth you discover for yourself:)
good luck!

thank you so much! I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment on this piece because it is very important to me. Thank you soo sooo much! :) -zia

i feel mostly myself and connected to my thoughts when expressing myself
the fastest and most relieving is truely speaking your mind to someone
i know most people dont give us the time of day or cant pay attention
im really sensitive to whether or not people pay attention to me
but when someone is truely listening to my cpre, deepest thoughts then i feel so happy in that moment

Hi Zia,

I really liked this one! You are very young yet so, life is still and will be a mystery to you for some time to come. It might take a long time to find yourself but, I know that you will always keep looking. Some may or will never know who they are. But, I think that you will because, one of your talents is in writing poems as you are so very good at expressing your feelings and thoughts. Follow your dreams! Maybe that is a good place to start looking?
