As you go through life do you ever stop and wonder how and why you are there?? Was it because of someones elses dreams pushing you through, have you just been wondering around the different seasons of your life not knowing excatly what you are doing??
I was definitely standing there 2 years going "what the heck happend, how did I end up this horrible marriage and why is my world being flipped up side down?" It has been an amazing 2 years not all good but not all bad either. In this last 2 years I have realized a lot about myself how strong I can be, how to make disicions, not caring so much about the opionins of others in my life, though those "others" in my life I love greatly and deeply, I have learned to let go and to forgive.
So what prompted this reflection of discovering ones self , I've decieded to go back to school. I went to orientation at the college, that was very interesting, since I am about 8-9 years olders than most of the people there. I saw a wide varitey of moms and dads basically telling their kids what classes to take and what to major in. Some of the kids you could tell were getting pissed off because it was not what they want to study. In some cases I'm glad that my mom and dad didn't force college on me while I was in high school.
It just amazed me while signing up for classes and getting books and the lovely little, stupid things that no one tells you about until after you stand in a line for 20 minutes. I was amazed at how that step from high school students going straight to college is a start of something completely new and how they can start discovering their self with out the pressure of their parents. Self discovery is never ending, I feel that if you stop discovering who you are and what you like and don't like then you will be very boring, grumpy, and mad at the world because you don't want to look at the other side of things.

That was really refreshing to read.
I agree with you when you say that people who stop discovering who they are may become boring/grumpy mad.
I've seen many people like that when I used to work in the fast food industry. I met many people in their 30s and 40s who seemed to hate life, yet did not seem to have any desire to change things!
I hope school goes well for you!
