Rediscovering Me.

source

Within the last four months, I have learned more about myself  than
 I have in the last nineteen years of my life.Upon recognizing this, I
realized that for the majority of my life I have deceived myself to
 be the Kaleen that I wanted to be, not the Kaleen that I am deep down inside.

 I think that for the longest time, I have designed up in my head who I want to be
and how I want to be portrayed Simultaneously, I became that girl and my character
 just fell into sync.This new season of life as a college student,
alpha leader, friend, girlfriend, etc.
 has required me to step out of that routine of being
who I want to be and distinguishing who I was created to be and living that out.
It is not to say that I have been a fake my
 whole life, but that I am just now discovering the person that
God created me to be: an extroverted introvert, a leader, a learner,
a woman who acknowledges her weaknesses, an authentic friend...the list goes on.
This development of discovering my true self has been a journey
 and will probably continue to be one for the rest of my time on earth.
The timing of this self phenomenon could not have been more perfect, thanks to God!
 I am  surrounded by an authentic community of people who love me for me
and will stand by me in this journey to rediscover myself,

The Real Kaleen.
