trying to figure out who i am.


Recommended Posts

so i'm 22 years old and i've just got out of a 6 year relationship because we bascially mutally agreed that it was time to move on. i wasn't happy for alot of years but i stayed with her because i didn't want to hurt her. i had all the power, i remember thinking i'd rather be miserable than with this girl. but her beauty was i guess a factor (plus i madly loved her). i'm now as i wished, miserable, and don't know what to do. i walk around the house lost, confused and have no business to beg for her back. I don't even know if i'm hurting, my emotions are bizarre. are there any ways i can figure out who i am? i feel like i've hit a brick wall. this sounds so weird. thanks for reading.

I was in the same place of not knowing myself anymore. I sat down at the computer and just googled things like "bucket list ideas" and made my own large list of things I wanted to do with my life.

 

When I get down I go and either check something off or make arangements to get something checked off. It really changed my attitude and got me on the right track.

I was once in a place of not knowing who I was.

 

I read the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Some of the exercises ask you to dig deep to your inner child and ask you what you've always wanted. The author also encourages you to do something each week that makes you happy, even if it's something as simple as taking time to watch the sunset.

 

By the end of it I had a much better idea of what matters to me and what direction I want to go with my life. I would suggest borrowing a copy from the library and seeing how you like it.
