Hi guys! My name is Leena and welcome to my blog!
Right, so back to the question: Who am I? Wow, this is probably the hardest question ever. It always blows my mind when I think of how our minds cannot seem to construct a simple sentence that, in a nutshell, describes our very own personality and what it is that we bring to the table. I cannot think of a single word much less formulate an entire sentence.
I suck at introductions, there I said it! For some reason which I do not know, a question such as this always catches me off guard but I will tell you what I know.
Yes, I am who I am. I know that but that does not exactly answer your question, does it? I find this question very hard to answer mainly because I believe it is impossible to describe yourself in a couple of words. I feel like no words can really do justice.
I am just a girl. A girl learning how to survive in a cruel world. A girl trying not to let the weight of the world drag her down at her feet so much so that she becomes hopeless and dares not to get back up. I am just a girl who is trying so hard to catch sight of the beauty on the outside. That should not be so hard because beauty is dormant within me, right?
I lay my head down and think of all that I have been through. Am I my past? Am I my hurt? My disappointments, maybe? No, but my past does have an influence on the person that I am today. I know that all that I have been through and what I chose to remain perseverant for has led to my character. I also know that you are utterly mistaken if you believe that your mistake makes you a mistake.
I once read a really amazing book called Understanding your Potential by the late Dr Myles Munroe (Shout out to my friend Tasha for letting me read this book. You are the real MVP!) in which he says "Who you are is related to where you come from" and it made me think. I come from God so that means I am of God, right?
See, this made me realize that my identity lies in Christ. I am who God says I am. Its not been an easy realization to come to terms with because for some reason, I believed what society tells me about who I am instead of God. It's a journey but I try not to listen to the society's opinions about who I am unless of course, its a good thing! Lol.
Guys, I cannot put in words the person that I truly am but what I do know is that I am consciously on this journey of self identification and I must say, SO FAR SO GOOD.
For me, getting to know myself is getting to know God. What about YOU? WHO ARE YOU?

Rare description. Common minded person would tackle it off from their family grounds to academics. But you have rather chosen to express you in a divergent lane.Good start ������
