I've read so many books in the past year trying to figure out who I am as a person. It's been a long journey but I can honestly say I like the person I'm becoming. This was all possible because I can examine myself and be honest.
Are you introspective?

Yuffie butter!
It's just little lies like "I'll be rich one day" and "I'm not ticklish".I can't lie to myself
If I can't be real with the man in the mirror who can I be real with?
I actually respect myself so much because of that.
lol I know that how that feels my mindset has changed so much in the last year.
I need to be even more so. My mind is constantly shifting, moving, rearranging. I'm the daughter of Hermes, a Mercurian native. Gemini and Virgo means my mind rarely stands still. I should make meditation more of a priority.
Also tell me about my zodiac sign
lol I don't consider that lying
I believe you can speak things in to existence. so keep it up breh.
I'm in a weird place between being a loner and love being around people.
I enjoy my solitude when I have it but I can also talk to anybody about anything.

My concious has really helped me to get where I'm at and gotten me out of some bad decisions.....
But it's also one of the main feeders for my depression.

Mine doesn't make me depressed like it used to but maybe that's cause I've learned to truly like myself.My concious has really helped me to get where I'm at and gotten me out of some bad decisions.....

Yes i am. Deeply so, its why i am so empathetic. Its puts you in a position to look at things and situations from ur mind and heart and not just ur eyes.
It also helps us be humble.

I am. You have to be. It's easy to sit and blame things outside yourself but once you really sit down and allow yourself to be honest about the role you played in it, it helps you heal and move forward.

Which books? What are some changes that you've made?I've read so many books in the past year trying to figure out who I am as a person. It's been a long journey but I can honestly say I like the person I'm becoming. This was all possible because I can examine myself and be honest.
I think the René Descartes saying "I think therefore I am" is important not in a sense of existing but of being conscious of yourself and your actions.
The idea of being someone is tricky.
We are many faces, I forget which philosophy says so, but I wake up happy 4 days in a row, the 5th I wake up sad. Why am I sad, my life is perfect. Why am I anxious, I have everything?
Different faces show each day, you have many faces, so you must learn to cope with them. You must learn to express them and control them, and harness them and from then you can learn about yourself.
I always say on thecoli "I've been learning muay thai for a year", always. It helps me, I'm not an aggressive person, I'm genuinely not an angry person. But with martial arts I learn about my aggression, about my anger, about myself.
Now I pick up the keyboard, I'm writing poems and songs and trying to compose melody's. This helps me delve into my emotions and my inspirations. I'm not the best, but yesterday I was thinking of writing a song based on DJ Quiks "Chocolate Lover", then I heard a melody in my head, it was from a Japanese hip hop song. I tried to play it, I ended up writing some lyrics about how this world tries to hold us down, on some change the world stuff. I didn't ever think I'd want to write songs let alone about changing the world. All I used to do was freestyle, I never learned how to sing.
I've written much, but basically what I'm saying is continue to read, but also learn new things. Learn how to play the guitar or speak mandarin or do kung fu, and through continuously learning you'll be able to learn more about yourself as well as better yourself
