I was just scrolling through someone else's blog, a woman named Karen who was wondering when she would find herself. She linked to this to not having a soul mate, in my response I discovered something:
It's a terrible thing to explore one's self. I rememeber recently, in a lecture at UTS, a professor asked us what our world view was. That being, what do we identify with, where do you see yourself going, what do you uphold and what is opposing that.
And we couldn't answer him.
We tend not look within because we can't face what lies beneath the fleeting moment, the passing day or issue. I dont believe that we need someone else to figure out who we are in our entirety, rather I think we use the other person as a pillar to lean on; a reason to not look within ourselves.We don't find ourselves in other people, rather, we lose ourselves.
This, I think is partly the reason I've created this blog. To explore/invent/finally understand myself beyond the mirror reflection; to, in a sense, find the next me. And from there onward and downward to the innermost core just like a Matryoshka Doll.

Hi There Jiggy
Hey thanks for visiting my blog.
Just to clarify, I once believed that there was such a thing as a soul mate. I don't anymore.
You are so very right with what you have said about the 'leaning on a pillar' though.
Hey good luck with using blogland to help with your studies. Shoot me an email and let me know what you are after.
I have been in blogland for a couple of years and might be able to point you in the direction for some stuff that might help you with your studies :)
Hm, to respond to what you said in my blog (thanks for visiting btw, yay!) do I do so in that same thread or do i respond on your blog? Simple things like that confuse me haha.
'Studies' is too serious a term for what I'm doing I think, this is personal at the moment. What you were talking about just happened to relate to something I remembered a professor saying haha.
I'm a writer mainly, which is why my blog page isnt as pretty as yours haha. Im not very tech savvy.
Hi Again Jiggy,
Oh I'm not at all Tech Savvy either. It's pretty easy to put pictures and stuff on your blog. I even just worked out how to put a YouTube link on my sidebar! Woohoo!
I, like you, also love to write, which is why I have a blog too.
I really like what you've said in your comment. I think it's so true that people lose themselves in another. I think I have spent years doing that and that's why I'm so happy being single now, by my own choice, and having the opportunity to find myself....finally.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and I will look forward to reading your future posts :)
