Who I am hates who I've been

For so long I desperately wanted to figure out who I was and what I wanted from life and what it wanted from me. But I realize the only thing that stood in the way of discovering myself was me. I took more of my time trying to conform to what I thought everyone wanted me to be instead of just listening to the cries deep inside myself, which I know sounds cliche. But I've found now that I listen to myself above anyone else, I am a much happier and stronger person than I thought I could be. And even though I still don't know what I want out of life, I know I'm closer to figuring it out than ever before.
