do you know who you are?

Absolutely! Back in my mid 20s I took a few yrs and did some major soul searching and learned exactly who I am both the good and bad. I took the time to learn the who's, how's and why's of not just myself but my life, where I'd come from (my past and all that came with it etc) and so on...now I'm nearing 40 and have an extremely intense handle on who I am and what I'm all about...I can honestly say too that I'm very strong in it as well. I am proud of the woman/mother/wife/friend etc that I am and though like everyone else I have flaws, I know that the being I am is a wonderful, strong and loving one which is all I need to be if that makes sense..I've also encouraged my children as they got older to look deep into themselves as well and gt to know the true them..not as easy for a kid but they are getting the hang of it (mind you even as an adult looking deep into yourself without rose-coloured glasses isnt easy)
