Childhood heroes

Who were your childhood heroes? I can answer that. In order it was Ziggy, Opus, and hawk woman on the he-man cartoon. I really saw myself as completely unsure of my self and every thing bad that can go on in life would happen to me. For a time I was thinking of changing my name to Ziggy Ziggy. I was a shy kid with no friends and would rather read a book, or go for a walk alone in the woods. I still think I'm that same kid. I think I might be completely wrong about myself. Could it be that I'm an outgoing, social, adventurance person who wants to love everyone? Some times I've been like that. I've acted on stage. I love to give presentations. I've had two separate teachers in collage tell me I would make a good teacher, even though I've never said anything about being a teacher.

Now to make my heart feel and my soul believe what I logically know to be true in my mind.

There's the rub.

Just remember to think of this as a journey. You don't one day figure out "who you are" and "how to be a happy person". It sounds corny, but life on this Earth is a journey, and it only ends when you die. We spend our whole lives discovering and striving to better ourselves. That sounds like what you're doing. In which case I have good news for you: you're living. You're doing it right.
