Rediscovering yourself

[CampClan]

How does one find themself or rediscover who they are if they never knew in the 1st place? I always thought I was satisfied with who I was. Now after 5 kids & becoming a single mom after 13 years of marrige (with my ex for 16 yrs though) I feel as if I don't know who I am anymore.

I was always happy just staying at home with the kids waiting on the hubby to get home. Now I am realizing I was never really happy. I enjoy singing (would like to try karaoke some time) but the only singing I have done "in public" is at church. I don't do the bar scene (I don't drink so there is no need for me to go into one). I have pretty much been a homebody for all my life. And now that I am almost 40 (will actually be 37 next month) I want more! Ever see Beauty & The Beast? The song "Bonjour"- "Every day like the one before"... yeah that's how I feel! BORING!

I think rediscovering yourself sounds like a lot of fun -- enjoy it!

Hope things work out and look up and not so boring...

I would say get out in the world, do stuff, volunteer, get a job, make new friends. Look into several hobbies, find out what you like to do.

I have found a new spiritual path that is very enlightenin' and helps me learn so much about myself.

Pick one thing that you have always wanted to do and do it or at least try! You may have been held back by things in your life from before. Get out and discover and get your dreams!

I think Applebees has a karaoke night. Just get out there and have fun.

I have a dish towel that says "life isn't about discovering yourself, it's about creating yourself" I say go with what you feel is right. Create the person you want to be :)
