Is it possible to lose yourself

of course it is. We experience many situations that can cause a dramatic change to our mentality. This could be a car wreck, a loss of a loved one, or even a relationship.

Just a day or so ago, I was visiting my mom and she handed me all of my very old daily planners. As a teenager, I found it important to remember every single exciting, endearing, and fascinating moment of my life! By doing this I would write down whatever I did that day. As I begin to read these so many years ago moments, I found myself smiling, bursting into laughter, and even crying. It displayed to me how much fun I use to have by myself, with friends, and old boyfriends. I then remembered... at that moment, who that girl was. She was very familiar to me, as if she was a good friend of mine who I enjoyed being with everyday.

I notice in my planners that after I fell in love with a certain someone, my life changed, it became bland. I started to focus only on this person, I stop hanging with friends, I stop doing the activities I loved so much. My planners then start to change dramatically, the person who I fell in love with name start to appear more than enough, not only of him, but his family. Not much of my familiy, my friends, or myself was in my schedule anymore.

When I counted those years back, I realize that I lost who I was for about five-years. I became a person of whom I didn't want to be, but found comfort in being her. Thanks for this book of which my past life was written, reminded me of who I was, and who God intended for me to be. To love life, endure the special moments of love ones, doing those things in which I love to do, trying new things that interest or intrigue me. Traveling with family, and friends,  and meet new and exciting people.

You are probably wondering, how do you do these things in which you love to do, when so many circumstances has cause tremendous responsibility on your life. I've learn to find time, to not get caught up in planning to do something, but to just do it! You do this by just learning To Do You!
