Confusion

There are times in life when we misplace things. Whether it's your car keys, cell phone, sunglasses etc. We search around frantically trying to find them, angry for not remembering where you put them. These are frustrating times, and can be quite difficult to find lost items, but sometimes the hardest item to find is oneself. I used to think I knew who I was. But now I am frantically searching to find who I really am. I was the lazy, scruffy, skater chick, who was defined by skateboarding in every aspect of my life. The way I thought, how I dressed, and who I hung out with. I no longer have my identity in skateboarding or in anything else and I am feeling the need to find something to put my identity into. The problem is, I don't know what it is I want to put it in. It used to be I am Lindsey Vale and I am a skateboarder. Hmm maybe I can think of some of my options as of right now.....

I am Lindsey Vale and I am a vegetarian

a health freak

a writer

a runner

an artist

none of these labels seem to give me the same pride as a skateboarder. But it's time I find a new label, something new that defines me. But what is it? I hope I figure it out soon. I am still lost, misplaced. I need to find myself.
