To be able to say the I

A word of explanation.
The somewhat strange title of my blog comes from a quote from Ayn Rand's book, The Fountainhead.  I'm thoroughly convinced that anything Rand writes is magic, and no one can convince me otherwise.  The quote reads as follows- "To say I love you, one must first be able to say the I."
This blog is a documentation of my journey to being able to say the I.
I'm currently 20, and despite my two decades of life, I still have no idea who I am or what I'm doing.  Maybe no one ever does.  That's not going to stop me from trying though.  This last year especially, I feel like I've gained a greater understanding of myself and what I want out of life.  Currently, my main goal is this- I want to be ok with myself.  I'm finally to the point where I won't give in, and I won't let up until I've accomplished this.  It may sound elementary, but I've got to start somewhere, and for the past... well as long as I can remember, I haven't even had the desire to "be ok," let alone have I actually been ok.  That's going to change though, starting with figuring out who I am- being able to say "I" and actually knowing what that means for me.
Right now, no one even knows about this blog, and I have a grand total of 0 followers.  I kinda like that.  Maybe someday that will be different, but for now, it's just me.
