As my life has changed and my journey adjusted, I have constantly found frustration that I don't feel like I "know myself." Recently, it occurred to me that maybe I don't have to know myself -maybe the point instead is being patient and learning about myself.
With friends, we don't know everything about them right away, it takes time for the relationship to develop and grow. Sometimes years; other times, souls click quickly. But as humans, we should want to continue to evolve... and at times, that can change your relationships in good ways or bad.
Thinking of myself as my own friend seems very odd. I've read many (probably too many) inspirational, motivational and "self-help" books, but I don't feel like the messages sink in and take hold. The big messages of loving yourself before you can love anyone else... I have just skirted through life ignoring all that.
But now, as I embark on a challenge of living alone after all these years, establishing myself in a town totally new to me and a career in a completely different realm, I am interested to learn about myself. Find my soul and attempt a healing process.
I will be conducting my own personal take on "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Under the Tuscan Sun" during my solo time in Texas. My mission will not mimic the paths of these amazing authors. Instead, I am inspired by their discoveries. Once the page is ready, titled "Cook, Clear & Connect," I will share it so that you may Follow it, if you are interested.
In the meantime, please comment below or on Facebook what you have learned about yourself and any challenges that have led to your growth and change.
