What Was Lost


What do you do at a time when you are suppose to find yourself, you do the complete opposite? You’ve lost yourself. You look in the mirror and realize you don’t recognize the person looking back at you anymore. Your dreams have changed. Your values have changed. Almost everything that made up who you are, you realize suddenly isn’t there anymore. How did this happen? And how do you go back?


When you move away from home and go away to college you are suppose to find yourself. You are suppose to mature, and everything is meant to fall into place. What happens to those who move away from home and everything falls to pieces? You have this dream, a dream of making a difference in the world, and suddenly you back down because you no longer think you have what it takes. Is it because you lost the person who believed in you, the one that made you want to be a better person? Or is it because you simply changed your mind? Was that dream ever really apart of who you were, or were you that person because of somebody else?


What really makes us who we are? What defines us? Is it what we dream or is it who makes us dream it? Do we ever really know who we are, or are we constantly searching? Can we ever find what was lost?
