I don't know what to do anymore

I'm not even sure who I am anymore. I feel like I'm slowly losing myself, piece by piece, day by day.

It's like I'm a puzzle, and someone's taking away the pieces that make me whole. I'm trying to hold on, but it's getting harder and harder.

I look in the mirror, and I don't recognize the person staring back at me. I feel like I'm just going through the motions, pretending to be someone I'm not.

I'm scared. I'm scared of losing myself completely. I'm scared of becoming someone I don't want to be.

But at the same time, I'm trying to be brave. I'm trying to trust the process, to trust that I'll come out of this stronger and wiser.

I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I need to find myself again. I need to rediscover who I am, what I want, and what makes me happy.

Yeah 50 years ago there was a claim going around being made.

Expand your mind man. Open up new Vistas baby. Ride the magic carpet. Drop out turn on and tune in.

Turned out that dropping out (becoming a bum ) "turning on" (to drugs) and "tuning in" (communes that became cults) was just people trying to avoid or escape reality.

A few actually solved every problem they had. They moved into a six foot long box six feet under.

I get it. I've been there too.
