Is it possible not to know who you are?
Many times we show the shiny face of something that is supposed to be perfect, a situation in which we have tried to fit in creating an image that does not match who we really are. Without realizing how we got there and without knowing how we can get out, we feel trapped in a labyrinth, we are afraid because we got lost. But every labyrinth has a way out, we just have to decide to search for it within ourselves.
