Life or Something Like It.....

This seems to me, an odd phrase. I continuously wonder about my direction and my place. Throughout the years I have grown into myself, but yet I know there is so much more of myself that I have yet to discover. Recently I have posted a blog on the Epiphany that I have recently had. The new beginning in my life. As recent as this may seem, my Epiphany is shaping a reality. I'm still not sure if this was a long time coming or why it hit me so fast. Suddenly it all seems so clear.
I am learning that life is not always the road that I may have planned, and I may not be where I would have pictured myself at this moment, but I have realized that now is the time to move forward with my dreams. I am learning that my experiences in my life have not made me the weak person I once saw myself as, but a much stronger and more knowledgeable person. I am becoming proud of myself, of finding myself and learning each day.
Struggle and heartache are familiar terms in my life, and for so long I looked at this as my weakness, but no longer. Looking at myself, or your own self is very hard, and many people don't want to face the reality of their true self's, I didn't for a long time. But I have to ask myself, how will I ever overcome those weaknesses that invade my soul if I don't face them everyday? How will I learn to be happy if I don't see myself for who I really am? These I believe are very important questions that I feel should be examined, especially if you are in my position, questioning the meaning of life.
Right now I am struggling to move forward. I have made a major decision in my life, a decision that will take me to a new place, but a decision that will better my future. So my quest continues, on to a new beginning, and a new dream. For once it is the dream that I have always wanted, but have been to scared to share. For the first time in my life I am going to fulfill my dreams and not the dreams of others.
