Where do I belong? Who am I?

"Where do I belong?" is the question that wanders through our hearts and minds. Sometimes we feel out of place. Sometimes we feel like we don't belong. Sometimes we don't feel right with ourselves. We want to belong, somewhere, where we can be who we are, who we were meant to be. Each time we try and speak out, it feels as though no one can hear us. We pray for an answer. We dream how life could be. We wonder if we'll end up happy. We hope that we'll spread our wings and be who we were meant to be.

Deep inside, we feel trapped, as though we can't escape the jail we've been imprisoned in. We want to break through the bars that's been keeping us trapped. We just want to runaway, before we lose our mind. We want to be free. We want to be out of the darkness and into the light. Just want to be far away. Some place that we can begin a new life and turn our dream into reality. We want to be independent. We want to be successful. And complete our destiny, which, is yet to be written.

We feel scared. We're afraid of the consequences that may lay ahead of us. We're afraid of failure. We're afraid of being alone. Sometimes we feel afraid of coming out of our shell because the world might view us differently. Others may not accept us for who we are. Sometimes, we just have to face it through the storm, face our darkest demons, because in the end, an angel always shines through to us. The light will lead our hearts to our true selves.

We just want to leave the nest. We just want to spread our wings and fly. We'll do whatever it takes to reach the sky. We have to sacrifice the things we love to accomplish what we want or be who we want to be with. We all have to take risks. We just have to work and fight extremely hard. We all have to make a change in our life. We just have to stay true to ourselves. No matter what we go through in life, we have to have faith and believe in ourselves.

Sometimes we ask ourselves, "Who am I?", and pray for answer. Sometimes we don't get an answer. Deep in your heart. Deep in your soul. That answer is located within yourself. Sometimes we hide from our true identity, because we're afraid of being hurt, because we're not ready to accept it, yet. We run and hide. We feel lost. We turn for help and never get it. We pretend to be something we're not to please others, to protect ourself from the reality. But, in the end, will it be worth it?

We change our personalities, we change our identity, we hide from our self to fit into society. Yet, we don't realize the damage it's doing to us. It hurts. Our heart aches. Our minds wander through a million thoughts. It hurts us, knowing, that everything we built around us, was a lie. It's not who we were meant to be. It's not what our destiny had planned for us. We choose to make our destiny. We choose how we live our life. But, it comes at a price: your sanity.

We should never hide in our shell. We should never hide who we are. We should never hide our true identity. Because, sooner or later, we will be revealed. There will be a point in life, where we won't be able to handle it, and we would crack. We'll do something that we'll regret. Something we wished we did a long time ago: be true to ourselves from the begining. We just have to to be strong in these cases. We have to face it as it comes. We just have to show the world: that we don't care what they think. We are who we were born to be.

You should always be who you are. You should always be who you were born to be. Even in today, society can be a total mess, you should always stay true to yourself. We should not care what others think of us. We were born into this world as individuals. We are all unique. We are who we are. The soul of life is just a song and everything goes on along. There's no right beat. We should never look back. We just have to keep looking forward. We got to keep the ball rolling. No matter how long it takes.

We all want to be where we belong. We all want to be something. You have to work and fight extremely hard to do that. Sacrifices will be made. As long as we stay true to yourself, it will be worth it. Because God will bless you. He will open so many doors for you. And life will treat you with respect and dignity. Being who you are, makes us what we are today...

Unique

Hey Jordan,
Those questions you asked in your posts are some of the most important questions which you really need to find the answer to. and you know what? i have an answer for you right now. God. We belong to God. He created us and although he did give us a freewill(meaning we can love him if we choose), you will find the most joy in him! i can definetly testify to that! My life would have been sooooo screwed up if it weren't for Jesus Christ!And i just want to say, he will be the answer to every question you asked in this post.

If you are feeling trapped, Jesus will give you freedom. he will free you from the bondage of sin! The Bible says Jesus is the light of the world. With him we CAN come out of the dark and into the light! Also, God has already written out our "destiny." He has a plan for each and every single living soul on this earth. Psalm 139:16 says, "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." This verse means, God has a plan for us. He knows ALL! And he wants to be our refuge when we are scared. With God we never ever ever have to be alone! He is ALWAYS there!! And although we will never be able to physically see him on this earth, we can have faith that he is there. I know he is there! He hears us when we call out to him!

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life"

The above verse means that Jesus, a completely perfect being, died a horrid death, for all of us! He died for every single person on this earth! And do you know why he did it? Because he loves us. No matter how many times we turn our backs on him, he is always, always there! Gos said in the Bible, "Never will i leave you; never will i forsake you."

His love is unfailing. It is unselfish. Isn't that amazing though? That someone died for you and me? Wow! It is not every day that someone would die for you. The second part of John 3:16 says, "whoever believes in him shall have everlasting life." So all we have to do is believe that Jesus is Lord over all the earth and Lord over our lives, and we will be saved from spending an eternity in hell! WOW! :D! I think that is pretty amazing!

I hope that will help you answer your questions! And i'd love it is you checked out my blog!!! go to the "being broken for him" blog. God bless you today!!
