Identity

I have been think alot about Identity. 

Who am I? 

Do I like who I am?

Is it really me who determines my own Identity?

I have been feeling very pressured by the demands of  'requirements'

It seems like what I am required to do for others is slowly defining me.

I am trying to be the perfect mother.

I am trying to be the best wife I can be. 

I am trying to be the good friend.

I am trying to be the appeasing and lovely daughter. 

So Why do I feel so resentful that these things are defining who I am?

I love my family and friends, why does it bother me that what I am fit into a mold with them is creating who I am?

Maybe I need to step back. 

Maybe I need to be just me (with responsibility) 

and the rest will follow suit. 

I can't be good at anything if I am not true to who I am anyways right?

I need to honor the person in me. 

Speak with truth and conviction. 

Act with respect for myself.

Be Honest to the desires and beliefs I possess. 

I can't make my life fit into a perfect mold. 

What I have around me is  life. 

Take it or leave it. 

I can't expect people to accept me for the honest me if I am trying to get them to fit into my perfect mold with me.

much love,
