Who Am I...?

So I was driving in my car from a friends place. As I hit a red light I began to think about my life and the changes that have been occurring since I moved away from my home. I thought about the person that I was in high school and how I am not that person anymore.

Then I realized that, before I came to college, I knew who I was as a person. I could tell you what I liked, disliked, and what i wanted in general. So what happened? When did I lose the person that I once was?

I began to think about when I first began to lose who I was. Was it when I moved to college? Was it when I didn't move home after my second year of college? No. I believe that it began before I ever moved away.

So I must now turn back time. Throughout much of my life I was never very connected to my peers. I had my own life, my whole world that was kept separate from my friends. I never had anyone that I was deeply connected with. I was me.

Then, I met my best friend. We were neigh on inseparable. It was at this time that I began to lose my identity. It shifted to include someone that I cared much about. I began to like a new type of music as well as trying new hobbies. This wasn't a bad thing. However, I was no longer me. From this point on, I have lost my personal identity.

This was one weird revelation. Now that I can see what happened, I ask myself: How do you find who you are as a person? If anyone is reading this, what do you think? How would you find who you are? Should I go on a soul-searching journey? I am going to try and figure this out. Wish me the best of luck!
