An Introduction

I don't want to start this self-reflection blog off my saying 'I took a look in the mirror and didn't like what I saw'. I can honestly say that I stopped looking at myself in the mirror because I didn't recognize who was staring back at me. I lived like this for years, going through the motions of life, not really experiencing any of it. I thought I was happy, but had no idea how 'low' I was. After I lost my job and reacted a completely different way than I 'should' have I started to wonder who I really was. Most people who lose a job that have devoted so much of their time, energy and emotion into should not feel a sense of relief when it is ripped away from them unexpectedly. This reaction just solidified my confusion as to who I am.
I have been going to counseling and one of the main things we are working on is reframing how I see the world. I have been reconnecting with reading again which of course is one of my biggest loves. I have enjoyed reflecting on books and quotes and situations. That is what this blog will be about. My reflection on things I have ignored for so long. A deep, in-depth study of life in general. I welcome your opinions and thoughts on my posts because I believe that will only help me along.
