Who We Are

So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

~Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Who We Are

I thought of everything being washed away, again and again. 
We make such messes in this life, both accidentally and on purpose.
But wiping the surface clean doesn’t really make anything any neater. It just masks what is below.
It’s only when you really dig down deep,
go underground, that you can see who
you really are..

~What Happened to Goodbye – Sarah Dessen 

That’s self-discovery. Finding a part of us, that’s hard to find. We might try to avoid it. But pieces combines together, to makes us who we are and then we make decision of  the life that’s left.
