Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

First Post

I am an everything girl. If someone were to ask me to describe myself in one word, I couldn't do it. I can't be conformed into a single word. Even if I could pick one, I doubt that it would always describe me. There are times when I'm a lot of fun, and times when I'm utterly boring. I have been very brave, and I've been a total chicken. I think I'm very smart but I do a lot of dumb things (which you'll likely read about). I'm usually very caring but there are times when I'm absolutely apathetic. I strive to be a good person, I really do, but we all screw up sometimes. So this is my blog, my stories of life and hopefully love. And I will make mistakes, bad decisions and generally screw up and I'll confess all of my "why did I do that?!" moments. But I'll love it every step of the way, and I'll see how many adjectives I can find for myself. ;)
