The hard questions

I was watching Grey's Anatomy tonight and a certain question-like phrase was repeated throughout the episode;

Do you know who you are?
Do you understand what has happened to you?
Do you want to live this way?

I liked this, as many of the memorable quotes in Grey's do, it made me think. When I really sit back and think about my life thus far I gather images, that turn into memories, that turn into the person I am today. I am unsure of who I am still, trying to break free of my past as a long time push-over, but I'll come back to this question later. I understand my past well as I have taken a lot of time to really sort through and process the choices I have made and those made around me. As of now I don't want to live the way I do, I still feel the sting of being a push-over sometimes and feel as if I am just another face in the crowd that doesn't get a second glance.

Back to the first question; Do you know who you are? This is a question that is not so simple, so here goes.
I am a girl who loves to read, it puts me in a good mood. I love to be outside and even love when my freckles come out in the summer sun. I tend to put other people ahead of me because making other people happy makes me happy (that's where the trouble with being a push-over is). I used to love to write but lost that part of me somewhere along the way. I get excited over the simplest things, and the smallest things can tick me off or make me want to cry. I hate showing emotion other that happy. I have fears that don't even make sense to me. I feel like I am just an ordinary person.

That is pretty much me. I mean I'm sure there is more but that's all I could think of right now..

So now its your turn to look at you and answer;
Do you know who you are?
Do you understand what has happened to you?
Do you want to live this way?
