me time

It's one thing to have personal space and another to lock yourself in your room and think about life passing by. It's the simple thoughts that result from having time to recollect the past events, emotions and feelings encountered which make 'me time' the most effective and important aspect in learning and understanding how people operate.

I never understood why people didn't want to delve into their inner selves, fearful of what they may find. Who they really are? Who they are becoming? But you soon learn that there is more hidden than what has already been unveiled. The saying 'some things should stay hidden' is debatable. Why would you want to keep your identity a secret, unless you're ashamed? Trying to figure out who you are is both a blessing and a curse. It forces you to choose a side you want in the end and not what you're comfortable with. For 'right now' has certain limits, where as, if you extend yourself beyond all expectations, you begin to realize that there has always been an option to be both persons meshed into one. You wonder which pieces you want to sacrifice and the ones worth keeping, when at the end of the day you shouldn't even need to compromise the person that He made you to be.

This is all discovered from 3 hours of 'me time'
