Sometimes it takes a very long time for people to find themselves. It takes time to figure out who you are and where you truly belong. But what is the point of belonging to a group, when at times, you feel like you're not part of the group at all. Your friends and family are the biggest support systems in your life. They help shape who you are now and who you will become. Their advice, opinion and rules are not there for you to follow word for word, they're there to help you as guides. You are not your friends, you are not your parents or relatives. It takes a smart person to learn from their mistakes, but it takes a smarter person to learn from another persons mistakes.

It's sad how unfortunate incidences in your life make you realize things. You go through life making mistakes but do you really learn from them? Why is it that people in relationships complain about how their significant other is, yet they remain in the relationship. I'm being a hypocrite but i'm just stating what is true.

My little title, I'm not a new person. I don't see myself as a new person because I find that I still have characteristics that I display now that I did when I was younger(not that i'm much older now) I think that finding yourself is like a process of elimination. You hang out with different people and I believe that a part of them leaves an impression on you. You keep certain attributes that help emphasize the person that you are and you eventually drop all the things that are considered to be miscellaneous. I believe that the simpliest experiences can affect a person. It could be a person bumping into you on the street without saying sorry, or a stranger holding the door open for you when you're just a few feet behind them. You learn something new everyday. I know that I haven't full discovered who I am, and I don't think that anyone, no matter how old you are, can really say that they know who they are. Well that's my opinion take it for what it's worth....nothing...
