why is it that for some people, it takes a traumatic experience, or an uncomfortable experience, for them to truly stop & consider their life? i ask this because lately, i've been wondering about myself. i thought i knew everything about me, i thought i finally had figured out who i am & what i stand for...& yet, when i took a second look, i saw that im a neurotic, hypocritical, demanding, anxious, self-conscious, arrogant, bitch. and so now, i have absolutely no idea who i am.
what set it off..ha this one guy. i've always had this theory that everything happens to us for a reason. and all the people we meet in life, we were supposed to meet them. i think everyone we meet makes us become who we really are. it's hard to explain.
so, this guy basically questioned me on everything i said. which in turn, made me question myself & everything i stood for. it seemed to me like he absolutely had to prove me wrong no matter what. if he disagreed in any way, he had to prove me wrong. then he'd tell me how much he cared about me. what a joke. if i didnt agree with him, i was dumb, ignorant, in his eyes. and so now, after that ended, i just completely am lost on who i am. i mean, if just going through the motions of life right now, waking up, going to school, going to work. but i feel like im not present. like, my body is here, but my mind is somewhere else. sometimes i wake up & i spend the entire day completely & totally uncomfortable in my own body.
i used to be so sure of myself, so arrogant. people would tell me i have a huge ego. and i thought i did..but now, im so completely unsure of myself. god. my friends know all about this fkd up situation, but i never told anyone about how i've been really feeling lately. i've never even told myself. like, im writing this, & i cant even believe the stuff that im writing, its all kinda just pouring out.
wow. im screwed up.

Screwed up
Exquisite, your not screwed up. It's simple, life is a learning experience and what you are experiencing is awareness, which is good. When you start becoming aware of yourself you are now in the position to make positive changes. Catch the negativity, and turn the tables on it with positive self talk. You are a beautiful and unique person. Go with it, live your unique beautiful life.

Hey exquisite. Well sis,
Hey exquisite.
Well sis, here's the thing...you've become to believe what another has said about you for so long, that now that he is not there saying those things, you want to find the true you...but aren't sure how to go about it. I would like to share that Jesus knows exactly who you are already, and He wants to show you. He loves you very much, and He wants you to grow closer to Him. Seek and ye shall find sis...but you can't do this alone...reach out for Jesus...He is right there next to you waiting...He will never leave you nor forsake you...He is a forgiving Lord, and He wants to bless you with being a new creation in Him.
Praying for you sis.
Take care and God Bless
