The who are you question.

   Through many different experiences, I've been asked a little about myself quite often. It doesn't matter if I'm starting a new job, creating a profile on a social network, or introducing myself to someone at a party, I've always had to stop and think of what to say. I think my problem is that I'm not really sure yet.  It used to give me a small amount of anxiety if I knew I was going to have to come up with some way to introduce myself, I had no idea what I was going to say. I was jealous of those who knew exactly who they were and what they wanted, because i not only have no clue what I want to do, I don't know where to start.  Just recently I let myself realize that though I had to grow up fast and form myself into a mature adult role, I'm still also only 22.  When I allow myself to take my age into account, I accept that it's OK to not have everything figured out. I'm still developing my brain, and am supposed to be finding out who exactly I am.  It's easy to say "well, I'm a 22 year old female, single mother of two beautiful kids" because yes, That's definitely what I am, but it doesn't tell me who I am as a person, and I'm looking forward to seeing who i turn out to be.
