What is my Mission?

When a person is growing, sometimes you don’t know that changes will occur and how it will affect you or the people around you. Does that mean you stop growing in fear of losing everything or do you continue in hopes that the ones you love will understand, appreciate, and follow with full support? Over the years it has been more difficult to do what people wanted versus what I need. I need much more for me, I would like to see much more than I have seen, and enjoy much more than before.

I like, no I love the person I see in the mirror, that I see ahead of me, and learned that everyone may not see the same. There was a time when I asked to be seen, couldn’t understand why they were stuck in the rearview of who I used to be, instead of loving the woman that was growing before them. Then realized I couldn’t go back. My mission was/is to enjoy life, a life that brings me peace. I wanted or at least I thought needed their presence, however discovered I needed me.
