Its not been easy, and it perhaps happens with everyone else. But there are times I feel I don't know who the real me is. I feel I am lost or maybe lost myself in the many roles I play?
I am sure many of you can relate to it. My life feels like a train chugging towards an unknown destination and there are compartments where I see many selves of mine.
First...a daughter to my mum. She lives with me, loves me and my kids, drives me nuts, but I love her all the same. I try to be her strength, but fail sometimes, especially when it comes to restoring her emotional health vis a vis my sisters who is battling cancer.
Second...a mum to my two daughters. This is perhaps the best role I enjoy. The best part is both of them have a massive sense of humour, so we are all a riot together!
Wife....Hmmm..here is something I guess I need to work on.
Co-worker.....Extremely turf conscious but a team worker nonetheless.
Friend..Confidante to many, but cannot suffer fools and fakes easily! Need more patience. Value honesty more than anything else....
Bewildered....a smothered soul, breathless for personal oxygen, starving for soul food..
But in all these roles, where is the real me? I also see no connection between all of them, and that is what worries me.
There are times when I want to piece tgether these splinters and get the complete picture. Mind you, these are splinters, not part of a jigsaw. What will this true picture look like? Not a horror, I hope. Perhaps I should periodically call an AGM of all the varied selves.
Lots to ponder about, buddy!
