Soul Searching

I think everyone should have a point in their lives when they are soul searching. The stories about 18 being critical for a teenager is true, 18 is where I gained the biggest responsibilities and life did change drastically for me. I found myself living with people who I would have never thought about living with. From then to now, at 20 years old needless to say I am still soul searching. I have made changes to my personality to make me a better person. The people who once knew me do not anymore. I am not the same get smart always have an attitude type person, however people took this for granted and the old me began to creep back out. So everyday trying to be a better person is a constant struggle. I found myself doing things like apologizing to all of those who I ever had a problem with but as I change my ways and mature in attitude I began to realize everyone does not mature the same time as me. So when is it a great time to start soul searching, or is there only a bit of people who even need to find themselves?With the start of my best-friend trying to find herself I realized that negative situations in life will cause you to evaluate the circumstances in which you are living. so my question is if everything in my life was good, would I be trying to find who I really am? Or would I still conform to those around me? I think I finally figured out what I truly want to do in life and of course it involves writing. Therefore, I am glad I went through the things I had from 2008 until now. I now have stories and words of inspiration to share with the world around me. I now have a goal that I finally want to finish, and this is why I think I am a writer.
