Dear Diary

Recently I have been feeling like I do not really know myself...As if I have just been going with the flow and not really thinking about what I really want. This week I decided to quit my teacher training course. I just felt like it was not the right time for me amongst my mental health deteriorating due to all the stress. . As well as my mental health How can I be reflective and improve weekly in my teacher training when I do not even know myself and what my strengths and weaknesses are.

So, I have decided to not follow the road that is expected of me but to go on a journey and find myself (hence the title finding the real me). To get out of my comfort zone and do all the things I thought I could not do. I guess this is what happens when you are not confident within yourself and no one’s ever told you that you are good enough. How can you be expected to know what you want when every decision in your life is either dictated by what your family wants or what society expects from you.

This is what has led me to being a 24-year-old university graduate who has no idea what she wants to do in life. So, follow my journey to see where I end up at…
