Who Are You?
Who are you? What do you like? What do you actually want out of life?
These are really powerful questions to ask yourself and really sit down and journal on. If you’re like me, You became many different people with different interests because you wanted others to like you. We are people pleasers and we just want to be liked.
So, we became many different people in order to be what we thought other people wanted us to be so they would want to be around us. Have you never thought about it this way? Was this an eye opening moment for you? Or have you known the reason you don’t really know much about yourself is because you have spent most of your life doing this?
You Are Good Enough
For people like you and I, people who have been through trauma and abuse at a young age, becoming a version of ourselves we thought people would want us to be was safe for us. At a time when we should have been learning about ourselves, the abuse we went through clouded that for us.
It’s ok! You are ok. You are good enough. Even if it has been a really long time since you felt like yourself, you get to still learn about you. Getting to know yourself might take a long time and it might feel uncomfortable at times. Healing doesn’t always feel good. Actually, sometimes it can feel horrible.
You deserve to get to know yourself and learn who you are and what you like and don’t like without the fear of others not liking you. It’s actually such a powerful and important thing to do.
Questions
These are some questions you can ask yourself and journal on.

Journal on these questions and get to know yourself. You are worthy of it!
