The fact of feeling lost and not knowing who you are anymore and the feeling of anxiety with not knowing where you belong or what you're supposed to be is absolutely heart wrenching. I lost myself trying to be someone I'm not to the point to where people started asking me who I was. I've realized over these past few weeks that I need to stop being who other people want me to be and I think you people should too. Don't talk a certain way because your friends do. Don't dress a certain way because that's what they like. You have to learn to be yourself in this walk we call life. I've been without my phone for a while and I've made my closest friends mad because of it and I'm sure my best friends I write books with (TheCheetahGurls ) think I've been slacking. I promise guys there's a lot more happening behind the scenes of my life behind this phone, and inside my brain. Between school, work, and just trying to make it and help in my family as much as possible really takes up all my time. I just got home from vacation and I left my phone at home. It's 10 something here at night and I have school tomorrow and my school has several bomb threats in just the past few weeks we have been on lockdown 5 times that wasn't a drill. Society is terrifying me. The point is I've lost myself being someone I'm not. I haven't been a leader, or a good person, recently. But today floating down a river in Helen Georgia I found who I was I realized that I'm me and no one is going to change that from now on. I am strong. I am independent. I am courageous.
I am Kenzie.
