Identity Crisis

Priorities have a habit of changing as we grow older. The plans we felt were so important to keep when we were younger never fade away. I look at the woman I am today, and I believe I've come a long way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from near and far, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all - Joni Mitchell

I use to feel I was experiencing an identity crisis. There comes a time when we wear so many hats on our head we get lost within our familar identities.

Hearing impairment is yet another hat I must wear to identify myself. My own hearing loss became top priority. I was crushed due to the importance I put on my handicap.

When I realized my happiness was at stake. I stopped placing so much emphasis where it didn't belong. The ship was able to sail and landed on fertile land.

The voyage was a wonderful experience. I came face to face with the true me. I had completely forgotten who I actually was behind the storm I had been fighting to overcome.

The picture became clearer. My head came out of the clouds. I trusted myself, which enabled me to finish the crossing to the promised land. I had convinced myself I wasn't seaworthy. Fate kept my boat afloat. The crisis ended on a satisfying note.

Hearing impairment should never be the top priority in your life. Be confident and you won't drown on your way to a new horizon. The struggles you overcome will boost your morale.

Desiring something keeps you reaching for the stars. Open yourself up to allow your priorities to count for something special in your life.

Once, I pushed my dreams away. I gave way to my insecurities which overpowered my convictions. The dream refused to die. I couldn't allow my hearing impairment to shatter my dreams into tiny pieces. Then I began to see my creativity was responsible for my intended success.

I was now at a stage in my life where most people my age knew more securely where their priorities belonged. I had been pretending I was someone I wasn't. The mask had to be removed. In a short time I no longer concerned myself with my past mistakes. I moved onto live in a more contented life.

Whatever had been blocking my plans, is no longer going to kept me down. My priorities were changed for a specific reason. The key of my priorities opened the door. I know who I am and where I'm going. The clouds seperated for a more glorious future.
