We often tend to look for ourselves out there. Looking, contemplating, digging the lands like our true selves are buried deep down or lost in the past or a treasure that need to be found.
I once heard someone said, "One's self is not something to look for, it is to be created."

True enough, I just had things figured out. I hope today isn't too late. I was sweating with dead-tired hands after all the delving of dirt to find a chest of gems which I thought I was. I waited for answers. I was either flipping through the pages of history or looking to the uncertainties of the future. I got scared. I got lazy. And I got nothing.
Maybe, it's about time, I pick myself up and stop whatever nonsense I've been doing all along. I just had driven to the wrong way but nobody said it's too late for U-Turn. The little piece of canvass have been full of splashes of different watercolors - a confused work of art. It's not too late. No one ever mentioned the backdrop had to be a pristine sheet of cloth. I could have had a shattered past or a broken spirit but I shouldn't be bounded by the titles or names or experiences I have. I have to create someone. I have to create a new me - Fresh and Fearless.
