Who I Am

I think learning who we are takes a very long time. For me, the journey has been hard and it has been a difficult climb. Throughout the stages of my life, I thought I knew who I was. But going through so much strife, understanding the damage that it does. Life changes all of the time. I have to deal with it all the same. But whatever it is, it is mine to accept or project the blame. Going through my life, I have needed to be strong. There have been so many adversities to face. I tried to cope, sometimes right, sometimes wrong. I could only hope for the best in any case. Let something good come from the pain, perhaps I had something to learn. Maybe deeper understanding was mine to gain. Becoming a better person, I hope to earn. I am not sure I truly know what it means to be me. but I try to be aware of the things that I do. Being responsible or at least trying to be, and striving to find that the person I am is true.
