Who are we?

Who are we? Does anyone really know?

Lately I have been trying to get to know myself a litte better and lets just say that the journey has definately had its ups and downs. Most of us (well at least me) have spent our entire lives trying to fit some mod of pre conceived ideals of who we should be or who we have to be in order to be considered a “good” “well thought of” or “successful” individual. But what does it all mean?

I found myself not loving who I was. I felt little to no fulfillment from my life. The pressure to look and be a certain way was just too much. .

Eventually this led me on my now present journey, the journey of self love and discovery. I realize now that there is no generic answer that will define who I am. It limits my beauty and truth to put labels and restrictions on it.

The truth is, there are so many different and equally wonderful meanings and aspects of my life that come together and make up the whole of my existence and truth. I am love. I am spirit. I am gratitude. I am constantly learning, growing and evolving each and every day.

Growth never ends. It occurs daily, even by the minutes and seconds if we allow it and embrace it. Growth does not always felt beautiful, sometimes it is dark, hard, and can even feel like total defeat and destitution. But even in these moments, it seems as tho the sun starts to shine again. I realize that without the darkness, I would not have been able to see or hold gratitude for the light.

These grueling moments throughout my life have played a significant role in shaping the most beautiful parts of my being and now I am able to look back on them with pure gratitude and love. So who are we and will we ever truly know to completeness? Probably not, but I do beleive that it will be a quite beautiful journey to discovery if we choose to see it from that prospective.
