I Love Me Narrative
Recently I have been feeling lost. It's my senior year of high school and just when I thought, "Hey, I kinda have me Sh*t together" everything seems to have fallen apart again.

I honestly don't have the words to describe how I feel. I Know I am extremely blessed with family and friends who love me more than I will ever know. I have a place to call home, a warm bed to sleep in every night, and food to eat. I am truly happy and thankful for all the blessings God has given me, but yet on days like today I feel lost. I do things and honestly don't even know who I am. Maybe it's just a stage that everyone goes through, but recently I have found myself asking, "Who am I?" more and more often.

Today, I went off on my younger brother because he ate one of my yogurts. A fricken yogurt made me lose my mind. It's embarrassing to admit, but I actually unplugged his PS4, hid it in my room, and hit my brother in the head with a water bottle...all because he took one of my yogurts. "Who am I?" I ask myself. I love my brother and yes, he shouldn't have taken my lunch food, but really Grace you hit him in the head with a water bottle. This is not the classy young women my parents have raised me to be.

You know, the ones where someone acts insanely crazy then is handed a snickers bar and everything is good and well in the world. My "Snickers Bar" is giving myself alone time. Everyday I need to give myself a few moments to acknowledge that I do have a lot going on. The homework, my job, extra curiculars, volunteering, and typical high school drama starts to add up. On top of everything in seven short months my whole life will be completely changed as I move seven hours away for college (Go Jays!). Although college will be an exciting adventure, that I am beyond excited for, it's a lot to take

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Then give yourself a mission or something to focus on something that you want to accomplish in the year, like bring your GPA up before the next semester. Consume yourself in positivity and understand your personal values. Don’t go off course because your friends want to get high the day before a midterm. Lastly, start listing what are my life goals in five to ten years. Do I want to buy a house or move states? What are my career goals five to ten years from now? Should I keep working or go back to school? Make a pledge to yourself with respect to your…

    “I’ve been drinking since I was twelve, but I don’t think I was exactly twelve. Maybe older, maybe younger. I’m a little tipsy now but that’s not what you want to hear. I was once told I drank like an eel, I’m not sure what that meant, but again that’s not what you want to hear. You want me to sit here and tell you the exact traumatic moment when I began drinking; It was the first time I ever had that nightmare. The next day I asked my dad why drank, he said ‘I drink to forget’. He never told me what he was trying to forget. I thought ‘I drinking makes you forget, maybe I’ll forget the dream.’ So I drank a couple of beers then went to sleep. The dream was worse than before, but that was the cycle every night for the past thirty-five years.”…

    I think that sometimes when life gets busy the first thing I do is well on what isn’t working. There isn’t enough time to accomplish everything I need to do. I feel like I am spinning out of control trying to find the ever elusive balance and continue to drop every single ball I am juggling in the process. I somehow think that in the hope of being everything I am letting down from the people all around me. For me it becomes a spiral that I can’t control. Negativity never breeds anything but contempt. Nothing good can come from getting down on myself. These feeling won’t just go away when I wave a magic wand. It takes a complete overhaul of mindset my ability to see each individual tree in the forest, it means I need to slow down and celebrate what matters. So that’s what I am trying to do , focus on the little things, the everyday successes that I know are right in front of me. It requires me to look through a much different lens, one of gratitude. I have amazing people in my life. My family is a unbelievable support and they are my heart. I have colleagues and friends near and far that I can go to for almost anything I need. A multitude of opportunities present themselves daily to learn, connect, and grow. I have the ability to embrace opportunities to wonder, ask questions, and try new things. I am grateful.…

    For the past few years, I’ve been feeling depressed. Of course I self-diagnosed with depression, but if I were to get checked, I’m very sure I would get diagnosed with depression. That’s how bad it was. I’ve felt this way because I’ve been having an existential crisis. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where did we, as humans, come from? What is my purpose here on this earth? These are questions I have struggled to answer. Only with my low self-esteem, these factors have impaired me to the point where I just didn’t even want to be here. I believe it all started when I started questioning my faith in God.…

    The older I become the more I clearly feel life is beginning to make sense. Looking back at my childhood I feel as I was living life all while being contained. I was born in Texas and raised in Indiana, in a town where speaking Spanish was not permitted and no one spoke of differences. I grew up in what is considered middle-upper class society. My family values were dictated to me as if it was a pattern being cut out and these were rules I was to follow or I would not be recognized as “famila”. As I got older this caused me to developed many emotional issues. I suffer from depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I concealed who I truly was in order to fit in to Social acceptance of Race and Gender. I married at sixteen and was fortunate I married into family who was wealthy and patient enough so that I could seek out the best medical assistance and educational assistance to aid me.

    Like most, my Fifth grade year was supposed to be awesome; it was the last year before I was finally able to go to Ben Franklin, the giant School whose football and baseball fields I had played on for years, just waiting for the time I could show I was good enough to play for their City Championship teams. But when I look back on that year that had so much promise, it didn’t go as I had thought, and ended up being one of the hardest of my life, both mentally and physically.…

    Who am I? I am the youngest of four daughters, no sons, born to my parents Harriett Cole and Joe Harney; they divorced when I was very young (I really do not remember my dad at home, the only memory is riding in dad’s squad car, he was a sheriff deputy, after eating a bottle of baby aspirin—mostly the lights and sound). I was born and raised (by my mother and paternal grandparents) in the Iowa City and Coralville area; in fact Coralville was the Cole family farm until interstate 80 came through and the family farm house still stands today.…

    If I looked back at myself a year ago I can’t deny that wasn’t me. I looked back a year ago and seen not even a glimpse of a bright light at the end of my tunnel. My family didn’t give me any type of direction nor support. I was forced out of my home and this led me to start making decisions on my own. I balanced school and over-night shifts. I abstained from going to an alternative school in Pilsen, which was an hour and half from shelter and into a Ludacris like neighborhood. The decisions I have made in the past gave me no hope to strive to find a meaning for the upcoming days. Then again, how can you see the future if you only lived for the moment?…

    A Special Day

    Beep beep beep... the sound of my alarm clock went off. It was seven o'clock in the morning. I was still very sleepy. I didn't want to wake up yet and was just rolling around in bed. I couldn't go back to sleep now that I'm awake. I was laying in bed planning out my day. Today is a very special day for me and I want everything to be perfect. Today is my sweet 16 Birthday. I'm happy but worry at the same time. I wanted to go to school dress in the prettiest outfit and have the nicest hair-do. I quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom. Someone was in there already. I banged on the door to hurry them up. It was my snotty older sister, who thinks she is so pretty and so popular in high school. She always takes forever in the washroom. It's one of the reasons why I have to get up so early just to get to the bathroom before her. Just my luck for the start of the day. My sister has always been mean to me; she always picks on me and makes fun of me especially in front of her senior friends. Ooh I hate her so much. "Hurry up!" I yelled. Finally the door opened and my sister walked out. She gave me the dirtiest look and rolled her eyes at me as she walked away. I don't let her gets to me any more, not today, not on my birthday. I quickly got in the shower and get ready for a perfect day today.…
