Have you ever rediscovered yourself?

At 16, my who family was concerned about my job prospects cause my dad learned I was not good at math or science and than I was writing creative pieces one day and all my relatives were shocked at how talented I was and my aunt laughed and said I would never be short on cash once I established myself a writer, I thought I had permanently lost my artistic ability after coming down with depression and emotional blunting in early adult hood but I realized recently that I still have those skills, just in a slightly different shape than before, more opinionated and reflective and less exploratory and unpredictable in my strategies.

Yes ! When I started back at the gym and changed to a healthy lifestyle I found a whole new me. I wish I had of did this many years ago or never stopped in the first place

I got away from running for a few years after an injury. But now I am running more than ever.

I'm going to say yes. Looking back, I have lived three lives in one. Each time has been a revelation, and much of that revelation has shown me who I am. I discovered that I had always been tougher and stronger than I knew. I had talents I didn't even know I had. Public speaking turned out to be one talent. For a shy kid who would blush if anyone spoke to me, I did better at interpersonal relationships than I would have ever imagined. It turns out I had a writing talent, and I could even sing. When I was small, I was good at drawing, and that was it. I have since returned to drawing, and even after all that has happened, I am still recognisable to myself.
