## Content

It doesn't need to be overdramatic. It can happen when you are doing things you care, sharing with people you love. Trying to do what you want to do. It slowly covers who you are. You are never only one version of yourself. It continualy changes, as we are always moving, always evolving beings. Or at least most of us are (can't imagine life any other way, to be honest). But nevertheless, there is a you. The lastest version on who you are. And losing yourself feels like not being able to listen to you, to the voice in your heart that shows you what you want to do, what makes you fill full. What makes you, you. I've been buried within myself for a while now. Even as I'm desperately trying to discover who I am, what I would love to do, building the version I would love to recognize as myself. And I let it happen as I lost more and more of my own voice. Now, I want to take it back.
