Who are you?

Who am I? A question most people will be able to answer immediately. Without even thinking about it. I am Peter…Easy hey? Not really, because there might be a million other Peters’ and you’re name, like many other things in life does not define who you are.

Growing up, most of us defined ourselves by where we live, our parents, our friends, our spiritual conviction, the amount of money we have, the schools we attend, our race and gender etc. The list goes on and on and on. But is this really who we are and how do we change this view about ourselves? This way of thinking has caused so much division, heartache and pain for a lot of us. 

This usually leads to people putting on masks to fit into a certain situation, group, class etc. and this is where we start to loose ourselves piece by piece. This to me, truly is the saddest part of life today. Trying to fit into someone else’s puzzle and losing yourself in the process.

We need to start telling people that their life is enough, they have enough and that they ARE ENOUGH! I know this might sound like an impossible task but we have to start somewhere, otherwise we’ll all end up being empty vessels with masks on our faces. This is not a good enough life to live. This is not how it’s supposed to be. We deserve more, so much more.

 You are not all those feeble classifications that I mentioned earlier. You are what you want in life. You are how you choose to live your life. You are how you treat people. You are the relationships you choose to have. Some days you are a hot mess and some days you are flawless. Some days you dress up and arrive and some days you stay in bed and don’t brush your hair. Just remember that no ONE THING can determine your worth as a person. Because even if you feel like nothing you will always be something to someone and even more to another person.

Just another wandering soul
