Why you need to find yourself!

There is one question that I want to ask you guys and that is, who are you really?

I know it seems like a really simple question but seriously, tell me in words who do you think you are. However, take out the aspect of other people's dreams and what other people and seriously tell me that where you are right now is purely where you want to be and not where everyone else wants you to be.

Why am I asking you this, you say?

Well mainly because I have come to the sudden realisation that throughout my life I have been living for other people and not myself. It seems that I automatically think that what other people think is right, but whatever I think is totally irrelevant in helping me in my life. Which is definitely wrong.

We need to remember that we were not brought in to this world to please other people but only to be able to find ourselves in this big and lonely world.

At the end of the day, if you are living for someone else, just remember that when they are gone or will go permanently from your life, who will you be living for?

Take me for example:

Nearly all my life I was called FAT and UGLY, a complete FAILURE. I definitely did start to believe all these things. I started to lose weight, and trust me, I was losing all that weight in the wrong way. I starved myself. I binged and purged. I cried every day. YES! I cried everyday eventhough I was losing all this weight.

Sometimes you think what you really want will make you happy but in this case, what I was doing didn't make me happy at all. The only reason why I wasn't happy was because I was changing myself for other people and not because I wanted to. Eventhough I was overweight before, I was the happiest I could be. I didn't care about anything in the world and just lived for myself.

I ended up gaining back all the weight that I had lost because I realised what truly made me happy was listening to myself.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still finding myself. It is never easy to find yourself. But I'm glad that I could see the mistakes I was making and acted upon it.

So please PLEASE PLEASE realise that you are the only one that can look after yourself and bring happiness. Do not rely on anyone else to bring that for you.
