nope, cause as soon as i think i know who i am, something happens that makes me reconsider or something like that.....

i do know where i want to get to in life, and that hasnt changed much in about 10 years

Having a goal is very important :)

Not by a long shot. But when I have discovered who I truly am and what I'm supposed to be doing here, I'll know. I'll know beyond the shadow of a doubt.

It's a feeling to savour :)

[wait.livejournal.com]

I've discovered I'm not who I thought I would be.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Is that a good or bad thing?

[wait.livejournal.com]

Both.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

How come?

[wait.livejournal.com]

I'd like to say that I love everything about me. About being me. That wouldn't be honest.

But I can accept who I am, the good and the bad.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Well said :)

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the gestalt isn't simple enough to describe with one word (without being cheeky at least).

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

You can use a few :)

I'm a jester, a philosopher, a seeker, and a keeper of secrets. As such, I am oft akin to the clown in Twelfth Night. I'm often a warrior of the shadows and of the mind. I am the void, the infinitite possibilities. I am even the killer of Buddhas from time to time.

An excellent description :)

Thanks!

I'm just waiting for those closest to me to discover who I am. ;)

I think I know myself pretty well, the internal tickings, good and bad. Yes my moods and emotions sometimes cloud reason/knowledge but I'm still confident I know who I am.

Night ♥

I'm hoping to discover more daily ;)

Moods and emotions do that... all too often...

No I haven't discovered who I am yet. Things keep changing, my desires and wants keep changing. I'm still young and I feel like there's so many things out there that I can do but I don't know how to take the first step. Mostly due to fear of trying something new and failing. I dunno. I'm always learning more about myself everyday.

Young is good :)

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Yep! I'm still smoothing out the creases and ironing out the edges, but I'm absolutely who I need to be when I need to be it, and that will only improve over time.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great? :D

[lilgeorgiawhore.livejournal.com]

Yes :-) College allowed me the opportunity to make my own decisions about my life and I started to come into my own. In highschool I was never happy with myself because I never felt comfortable in my own skin, so by changing myself on the outside (started dying my hair red, got my tattoo, etc.), I started to evolve into who I am today. It wasn't so much a process of discovery, but more shedding the past, shedding my skin and the real me, the me that had been suffocated deep down inside for so long, was able to finally come out. My transformation isn't complete yet -- I would be sad to think that it was -- but, at the same time, I don't think it will ever be "finished." Experiences and time simply add to who I am, giving me more dimensions and layers, but on the whole, yes, I am who I think I am :-)

I think I have but then I sometimes question
that because if you think about it...if you
are still questioning yourself on anything then
you really haven't and there is no such thing
as discovering part of you or half-of-you...unless
you just discovered you are a girl or a boy and
for some reason you didn't know that at all then there
are some reallly big issues that need to be dealt
with and if you haven't figured any of those out
then you just need to go and hide from the world
and make a list of things and questions that
need to be answered...especially if you don't
know if you are a boy or a girl.

did that answer that for you?

I'm really in a blah mood!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Good answer :)

[photodiva02.livejournal.com]

No, but I don't think I ever will. However, I am more comfortable with myself than I was in my twenties.
