What do I want? That is a question I ask so often... And the answer seems to be forever changing. I guess because I keep growing, learning, keep being exposed to new ideas, new ways of thinking. I am constantly inspired to find more in life. And yet it also makes the pathway alot more complicated sometimes. I like the fact that I have my own ideas about things. I try to let myself decide on my own, find out on my own, and truly come into my own self and what is most real for me in my own view of reality. But then I ask myself, what is reality? Can one single definition be put upon this place we all exist in? If the world is constantly changing, and we each are constantly changing, then how can anyone find any constant to hold on to? What is there to give me a direction? I have heard so many others opinoins, but I have come to realize that those are like the winds, always changing and from many different directions. The only way to find a foundation is to discover it yourself. You must go forward on your own quest and find out what is most real for yourself, and once you've found one, don't let it go. The journey doesn't end, there are countless adventures to experience, where the treasure is self-knowledge, the truth you know because you have lived it and it has become real to you. I am learning to embrace my own individuality, little by little. Its an exciting discovery.
