Moments

Do you ever have those moments in life where you figure something out about yourself? I have had a couple of those moments while in Texas. I think it is because i spend a lot of my time alone in my car and doing a very repetitive job. It allows me much time to think. (and i do a lot of thinking despite my previous reputation for never thinking!! lol) I find that most of the time these moments happen to me when someone else brings it up or calls it to my attention that i am a certain way. i usually deny it, but think about it often. I then tend to find that i am exactly what they said i was and was just denying it. It is really weird when you realize other people know you better than you know yourself. I mean, i have been with myself for 25 years now. i should know me pretty well. i have had many of these moments throughout my life. some have been really good and have allowed me to grow and be a more well rounded person. other discoveries i have made have not been so good. those times end with me crying a lot and then reminding myself that i can be who i wanna be. just because i am one way today doesn't mean i have to be that way tomorrow. a lesson i learned while in Maine!
