The Search

You keep on looking for yourself and I don't know why. Most people do that, like what you always do. You search for yourself because you want to fulfill the emptiness you feel. There's nothing wrong about that. But now that you've found him, you think you've fulfilled that hole. You think you've already found yourself. But remember this, it doesn't mean you've found someone to love or even who'll love you back you'll be able to find yourself. You found him after all, not you. Why do you have to find yourself if after all you are you? People keep on looking for other persons, pretending that they are they. You're never lost, so stop looking for yourself. There's a prayer, there's a miracle. There is a word called acceptance, and I think you must have to find it first.

I'm caught up in your musing, Hansteven. We can move on once we have accepted who we are. ~ Regards // paul
