Getting To Know Myself

I never really loved school. I was fine at it and did “well enough,” but I was never passionate about learning the way some people are. Even when I went to college, I never felt the pull to a major or course of study that felt like something I had to be doing. Perhaps that’s why I’ve never felt like I’ve found my purpose. I was always just following a path someone else had chosen for me, or at least nudged me towards. 

Fast forward to this present moment: I’m deep in learning. I find myself reading more than I ever have. I’ve never been a big reader (perhaps that’s because I was never reading anything that pulled at me). Now, I feel like I can’t get enough new information about what I am drawn to: meditation, inner healing, and, most of all, art. I’m taking courses and workshops that I am drawn to in areas such as photography, painting, and some self-reflection. All of it feels like a need and not just something I’m interested in. I feel as though I’m finally getting to know myself and allowing that self to explore all of her desires.
