Is it a Swan or Phoenix?

What a shame it is to not know who you really are. Even more when you have lived close to 40 years. One would think you would have figured that out during your 30's, but if you didn't then 40 seems like a great place to start. 

Faced with the reality that what you want to be was squashed down by others agendas, opinions, and your own fear. Silence became your friend and indifference set in. Easier to agree than disagree, willing to compromise what makes you happy for another happiness. 

The issue with this is no one is really happy. With life, with each other, with anything. Resentment creeps into the cracks and destroys what was left. 

And here I am left standing with my future ahead of me. A blank canvas. Ready and hungry to find out who I am, the person I'm meant to be. The best person I can be. Watch out world here I come! 

Take this journey with me friends...I promise you laughter, mistakes, tears, and sarcastic witty comments.
