Right when I think I know myself, BAM, I’m lost again.
TurningPointCT.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. We know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help.

I actually like this poem Katerina. I remember writing a similar one, which I share below. This poem teaches us that we are more than what we may perceive ourselves to be or what others think of us.
You are…
Here today and gone tomorrow…
There is an end to everyday
But you are not bound to seas and lakes
But you are bound to the abundance of existence
You are not fingers or toes
Or eyes or nose
But you are an infinite powerful soul
You are a sailor,
Who travels deep seas
You are a soul
That faces a great unknown
You are powerful beyond imagination
You are an everlasting conscious being
You are an answer without a question asked
You are a story with no end
Love this! It’s so inspiring to watch people come to terms with who they truly are- and for them to be at peace with that. We are all so unique and individual in our own ways and that’s so beautiful to me.
Torry,
I love this post so much! It’s so important to remain in touch with our grassroots and know who we are as well as every part that makes us, us. This is who I am:
I am a daughter.
I am a fighter.
I am a survivor.
I am a helper.
I am a listener.
I am a friend.
I am a student.
I am a cousin.
I am an achiever.
I am a hard worker.
I AM ME 🙂
