I am someone who wonders if she will ever know.
But someone who knows there can be a place for uncertainty too,
even though it isn't often valued.
Most people seem so confident,
like they know who they are,
but maybe I don't know.
Some days I am myself,
a person who laughs loudly at things that aren't very funny,
just because I like to laugh.
Some days I know I am someone who enjoys the presence of others,
someone who is happy to see the people I see every day.
Some days I know myself.
But some days,
I am tired.
I am weary of who I know myself to be,
I am someone who isn't ready to see anyone.
I do feel sometimes,
like I am not truly laughing.
The sound is forced,
and I wonder where the real me has decided to hide away.
I don't feel as happy when I see my favorite people.
It's not their fault.
Because some days,
I don't know.
I don't know who I am or where the real me is.
But,
most days,
I love to learn.
I love to laugh.
And most days I am very much a people person.
I am going to have to learn to accept, that some days I won't know.
Because to have the good days,
I will have a few bad days.
But I will be okay with that,
because I know that sometimes,
it is okay to fake laugh.
It is okay to feel like you don't want to see people.
Because those uncertain days,
they are a part of me too.
Those days,
have a place in who I am.
I'm not the good days,
when I feel myself.
And I'm not the bad days,
when I question everything about myself.
I am both,
and that's okay.
