Finding out whom or what you are can be different than knowing what your birth name is. It is a matter of defining yourself. Have you ever seen that movie "Runaway Bride" with Julia Roberts in it? She defines herself by the relationships she had until she met a reporter who questioned everything in her life.

I have been to the realm of the Underworld where you become hated. Dug myself a hole in that place of disgust. Then decided to build myself a rugged old but beautiful ladder. Climbed up half way with the baggage I was carrying too. Halfway is the point of communication and compromise. Halfway is the point where I decided I only needed the chaos of my life if it mattered to me and not thousands of others.

Funny how when we decide to release the chaos and let it fall back to the Underworld somehow the baggage we let go of figures out how to walk on its own two feet and follow us. When you let go of the baggage, it realizes that it couldn't live without you. You didn't need it. It was already a part of you.
