You remembered

 From Ladies Pass it On

I BET YOU REMEMBERED

We talk about "finding ourselves,"

what does that mean and why do people feel the need to

travel to do that?

It's because somewhere along the way we were made to

believe that our true self was too flawed to display.

So we learned how to be someone else.

We conformed, we stayed silent, we nodded, we

swallowed our feelings.

This went on for so long that we quite literally forgot who

our real self was.

So, when people say I need to find myself, they mean

they need to "remember" themselves.

They need to remember what they truly like, what they

really don't like, which kind of people spark their joy,

which environments plug them in and which drain them

out.

And whilst traveling is a wonderful way to connect with

that part of you, so is any kind of game-changer

situation (like a pandemic for example), or a period of

hiatus from the normal treadmill of our daily grind.

I bet you recently remembered, just a little bit, who the 

real you is.

Now, you have some remembering to do my friend,
