one self

Have you ever thought you knew yourself, but then had that familiar picture shattered in one small moment?

A time when you questioned everything that is part of that comfortable depiction of the person you are.

When you hadn’t found yourself, it was difficult. You were vulnerable and self-doubting; defenseless against any emotional threats; confused about any decision-making that would influence the years ahead.

But when you began to discover yourself, you were confident. You started to understand where you were in life, where you’ve been, where you wanted to go.

Then something happened. Something you couldn’t quite comprehend, not because it was devastating or traumatising, but because what happened was so simple and so petty that you didn’t think it would change so much.

And suddenly, you were back to your unconfident self. Your secure self became an alter ego that you’ve learnt is too dangerous to put on.

This first self isn’t you though. Perhaps the new identity isn’t you either. Maybe you had it all wrong in the first place.

So now you have to set off on the same journey to find yourself again. But the difference this time is that you’ll take another path; a path that leads you to an individual even more remarkable than the one before.
