A Moment for Clarity

I just had some really encouraging words today from my godmother. In an earlier post I said I was "Broken". This blog is meant to sereve as a tool for me to discover myself through writing. For a long time I have followed the crowd, changing so that I could be like others. I would conform to be like the peers I surrounded myself with, desiring to be accepted. In this processes I lost my true identity; I became a person that I was not truly proud of.
 In the last year or so I have been on a journey of growth and change. I have been trying to reinvent JENNA; becoming the strong independent woman that I know I can be. This has not been an easy task, for it is true that "old habits die hard". I am seeing some progress within myself, but as far as reaching my personal goal, I still feel I have a long way to go. In the past I was not focused on being a student; I was lacking in my studies, and I was too focused on the social life. Today I am more focused as a student, I am thinking deeper than I have ever thought before, as I delve into my studies. I know these are practices that I should have been implementing from the beginning, but like I always tell myself, "there is no time like the present".
I thank my loving godmother for opening my eyes on this beautiful, sunny, Saturday morning. I am not broken, rather I am growing, and forming my identity though my journey. Each day I will strive to something to better myself, so that in the end, the result will be the best me I can be.
