I had been in a relationship for about three years. I can associate losing myself (this time at least) with the ending of my last relationship. And although I wish I could say it was a simple process and one that required just a few changes in my mental state, I sadly cannot.Ī DISCLAIMER: my literal description of how I found myself after being long-detached is seemingly simple and straightforward. This being the case, I can only sincerely speak on finding yourself by referencing my own experiencing in doing so. So if it isn't all that easy, or makes little sense to you on how you can genuinely be at peace with yourself and your life, realize that this is a definite possibility. Similarly, finding who you are is a journey unique to your existence. Nothing you experience is up for replication, and even less understandable by anyone else in existence. When you grieve, for either a nonliving being or a living one, you experience a very DNA-like combination of emotions. I associate finding one's self with the process of grief, and believe that there are unique parallels to both experiences, that make them more similar than dissimilar. Everyone finds peace in different things, and has an easier or harder time with their process. However, I don't actively think it's equally possible for everyone to manifest their wants and dreams.Įveryone is different. The term, "the best things are hard to come by," rings in my head as I sit and write this piece. To me, this can be a legitimate indicator of quality in life. Like so many good things in life, it seems it's so much easier to lose something that makes you feel good than it is to re-find or manifest it. Yep, I'm certain a ton of digital hands went up. Raise your hand if you feel like you've ever lost yourself.
