Estelline I can't form a single lucid thought.
I need to stop accomadaring myself to everyone elses expectations. The more I do so, the more I confuse myself. I can’t tell who I pretend to be and who i am anymore.

How to know myself"Knowing yourself is a process - but once you get there, the journey will have been worth it. "
How I did it: I don't think I can say that one single thing did it, but many experiences and events contributed to the 'finished project'. I watched myself each time I had a thought along the lines of: "Where did THAT come from?" or "Why did I/ didn't I say/do that?" I paid attention each time that happened (and sometimes it happened a LOT!) Lessons & tips: Slow down, listen, observe. Pay attention to your feelings. Follow your instincts. Read, learn, watch your reactions. Fall in love. Resources: Numerous books, teachers, friends, parents, lovers and life experiences - and to round it off, a 21-day retreat at Plum Village.

How I did it: There's no instruction book. But one day you just wake up and you know who you are. You can't really search for yourself. Just close your eyes and smile, because you know, where your heart belongs, which people you need to complete your life! This is the moment when you know who you are! Read how I did it…

This is going to be a goal about personal development – a place to group together the insights that I have and the unfurling I can feel happening inside me.
I think asking the question “and what does this tell me about myself” is a good place to start.
I’m turning 30, and I’ve been deliberately turning 30 since my 29th birthday. My goal is to know myself by the time I turn 30. What do I want? What do I think? I am so easily swayed or distracted by others around me. Especially strong personalities. Especially people who I care about deeply. I have made huge strides over the last 10 months. Making difficult decisions, taking on risks and adventures, reflecting often and reaching out to people who can help me learn about myself (family, kindred spirits, role models at work, and most recently (today) a therapist). I want to make these last two months really count…And then I’ll see where I want to go for my year of turning 31.
Elusive Sleuth life is awesome :)
I’ve had further thoughts about asexualism, following some comments I exchanged with someone on here who appears to be in a similar situation. I’ve been considering for awhile if I may be asexual, but i’ve decided i’m not. If i’m being honest, i’m interested in men, and I know this. Telling myself that i’m asexual has been helpful in keeping myself focused on staying single and getting to know who I am, but I am lying to myself, and hiding from the truth, if I tell myself that men don’t attract me.
At this time in my life however, I am not that interested in sex. I’ve been thinking about why, and have come to the conclusion that it’s because I haven’t met anyone who interests me enough to want to have sex with them. I thought this was the case with asexualism to begin with. I thought that I was asexual because there wasn’t anyone I knew that interested me enough for me to find them attractive. I think that has changed though… I’m not sure. But I know that I find men attractive. In time, I may find someone that i’m attracted to enough that I want to have sex with them, but at this stage i’m not asexual, I do find men attractive, i’m just not that interested in sex.
I’m getting to know myself pretty well. :)

I’ve felt weird this last four weeks. I’ve had heaps of spare time, but I feel like I haven’t achieved much at all. My goals get shifted from ‘give up’ to my list and back again. I feel indecisive.
I feel like I have no motivation. I don’t know where it went. I feel like i’m watching from the sideline. I feel like no matter how much effort I put into something it won’t be enough, because I don’t feel fully committed to whatever it is i’m trying to achieve.
Maybe it’s Winter.
I feel like I need to get up early, go for a run, rethink what I want to achieve, and then just do it. I need to find my motivation.
I’m learning.
