As a child, i always wondered why autobiographies always seemed to deal with discoveries and journies and experiments and the like. I watched wonder years and all those shows on star world about college life as an expectant high schooler and thought about what "finding myself" meant - gave up on it as a wierd american thingy - they seemed to have more than one concept messed up about social life.
Wonder how ironic that is - now that I am actually in that very same country and consider the primary objective of my life to currently be to find out what I myself am before I can decide what I want from life. Those two seem inextricably tied to each other though -
all i am left with is the fact that though i do not think I am yet where I want to be in terms of what I see myself as, I guess I take baby steps in that direction each day.
Growing up is fun - seeing yourself grow up is not! There is a refreshing freedom in the first and a greater responsibility in the other.
