Lost in Translation...

Many of you may have noticed the increase of opinions/statements here on the web.  It has all been a part of what I now know is the search for who I am. Though the journey is still being paved and traveled I do have a good sense of who I am as a young black woman. I have come to the realization that I am an emotional and affectionate being. I love to express myself in any form, whether that is singing, writing or dancing. I know what I can tolerate, what I can do without and have learned to enjoy my own company. I have embraced my grey matter for it helps me cope with my past, live in the moment and dream big for the future. The purpose for this blog is to encourage others who have not yet figured out who they are or have lost themselves in the process. What I have noticed with my situation and those alike is that we sometimes “lose” ourselves in relationships in all forms {people}, our jobs {surroundings}, or just life in general {circumstance}.  I have too made the mistake of losing myself in people, trying to define who I am as a person in the interactions of others. The only thing that will come from this is disappointment and misinterpretations. Think of it this way – we are all different in all aspects of our lives for a purpose. Why would you try to find out who you are through someone else? My personal experience comes from the relationships I have formed. As I continue to grow I am now being re-educated on an “old” subject…. love…..  which has shown me a new appreciation for someone else and more importantly, our differences. Don’t be confined by society’s ideology. Go outside the box and challenge yourself on a daily basis. MOVE!
