Growing: Coming Into Myself

I was privileged to go see Tyler Perry's Movie "Good Deeds" and WOW! I had a "come to Jesus meeting:! Did I see myself in that movie? Yes Ma'am! Yes Sir! I cried for two hours after the movie! My name is Ms. Deeds! I have spent my ENTIRE life pleasing others and making others happy to the point where I don't know what I like! I revisited some of the decisions of my childhood and saw where I made decisions based on my own desires but on the desires of others; what made others happy or at peace! I didn't press my Mom about the clothes that I wanted to wear because she struggled to buy those things for my sister! Now while that seems selfless and wonderful, I LOST MYSELF! WHO AM I? WHAT AM I DOING HERE? These things affected my self esteem!
I am discovering now what I like! I actually decided what I, emphasis on I, what I wanted to eat after a church service! DO YOU KNOW HOW MAJOR THAT WAS? I have NEVER done that!!!
 I am in a place of self discovery; THE JOURNEY OF ME........
