Finding lost self

At loss recently...

I need to get my old self back to fight all these battles...

I miss myself during secondary school days...

Am i that insecure that i've to seek refuge & reassurance in other people?

I've lost a big chunk of my self-confidence...

This is not the "me" i know of...

I've sailed through rougher tides; has the steering on my ship gone broken? The radar, perhaps?

Expectations... are they too high? Or have i not worked hard enough?

It's time to move out of my comfort zone & wake up!

First things first!

Sometimes reality makes people realise that the outcome is going to be similar whether you give up or persevere. Ain't that true?

Am I not cut up for this?

Enlighten me, please.

The Road Not Taken ~ Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that, the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
