Beautifully written. It's interesting to see how and when the question of 'who am I' creeps up. I've lived life for only 21 years yet still feel the pressure to understand my purpose right now. I've realised that there is no purpose and no specific way to live life or answer that question. Rather, it is choosing to simply live practicing things that bring you genuine joy - and being as authentic as possible in the process. All while being intentional, present and aware. Thank you for this!
Thank you, Lidia. And thank you for subscribing! I'll look forward to hearing from you again, and I will take a look at some of your writing on Curled Inn. :-)
This is very timely for me, Don. I'm having trouble expressing how I feel about it, I think because it is visceral and elemental. It's coming to me at the right time and my being (whatever that is) is open and receptive. Thank you.
"I realize how much I rely on others to validate my self image." I felt that in my bones....
Thank you for commenting, Amy. It's good to hear from a reader and I'm glad you liked the essay! :-)

It seems like a simple enough question. I’ll get back to you, someday. I’m not being a wise guy, this is going to take a while.
