Young People Ask Us

WHO AM I ANYWAY? There are things I know about myself, and then there is stuff that others know about me. But I can still struggle to know who I am, and where I fit in!

This has to be one of the biggest questions ever, and one we can spend years trying to figure out.

I know I wear masks, so that I can be who people want me to be.

Or it’s to hide behind, cause I don't want people to see the real me.

It can be confusing, and often we just grab a status, and say "that's Me." Social media and peer pressure can push us into a box, that just doesn't fit.

We are all work in progress and no one is perfect.

Learning to accept others, just as they are - helps us to accept ourselves.

Then we begin to discover, who we really are.
