Retrospective Post

I've spent the past few years searching for myself. I'm not sure if I have found myself completely yet. I do know one thing. I am a completely different person than I was three years ago.

It's funny how I thought I knew myself so well when I graduated from college. I've learned that most people rarely know themselves when they enter college. I ended up doing the family thing so that is what I associated with my life. When that ended, I was sooo lost. I didn't know what to do with myself.

So I attached myself to various relationships after that. I would change with each relationship. After they ended, I was back to my old lost self again.

How is it different this time? I have felt this need to find myself no matter who I am with. I will not let another relationship define my life. I know this post is somewhat serious, but I have to remind myself where I was three years ago and how much progress I have made in my life.

I have made several decisions lately that the "old" me would never try. I am more "fearless" now. Does that even make sense? Wouldn't that be an oxymoron? I have more of less fear.
