Journey of Self Discovery

Journey of Self Discovery Self discovery was a process I thought I had already been through. But when faced with the question, “Who am I?” it proved to be a lot harder to put into words than one would think. I believe that I have a good sense of who I am, but translating it into words was a struggle for me. I consider myself to be a very concrete thinker.
