Introspection

outfit
Shirt- Forever 21, Cardigan- JC Penney's (I think, it's old), Jeans- Urban Outfitters, Heels- Target, Necklace- Made by me, Purse- Thrifted

I feel like I always have so much going on in my head. I'm such an introspective person. I want to share it with you, it's just hard to fit in a neat little blog post. You know what I'm saying?

At 28, married for almost eight years, and with four kids I feel like I should have most things figured out. But, I totally don't. After coming out of our difficult church experiences I feel like the last year has been about rediscovering who I am. Who I want to be and not who I feel like someone thinks I should be.

Are you introspective? Do you ever think about who you are, why you are who you are, and who you want to be?

I'm linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy.

  1. completely...i go through periods of massive introspection (when my husband probably thinks I'm a little off the planet) and then I'll back off a bit...but I'm pretty much constantly thinking (at least at the back of my mind somewhere amongst all the other zillions of thoughts, ideas and rememberings) about who I am and dreaming of the person I want to be.

    I think being at least a little introspective is pretty important part of keeping ourselves sane...a little bit if 'me' time in our heads :)

  3. i know exactly what you mean. constantly. i'm in a constant struggle to figure out how to word things, how to train my brain to think more positively. growing more everyday, we are!

    i don't think you ever get everything figured out.. what happens when you do? then you're bored. then you're not challenged. then you're not learning.

    you may not have it all figured out, but you sure look like it! love that outfit, especially the necklace on the outside of the shirt and that cute purse!

  5. It is good to have times like that, makes me kind of excited that I will never have everything completely figured out because, well, that would be boring!

  6. I think about this often... what am I, who am I ... all of that. i've thought a lot about the church I was raised in lately -- how it defines me and how there is such a difference between culture and dogma

  8. Firstly you look gorgeous, love your beautiful outfit, so well put together!!

    As for introspection? Absolutely I think that no matter what age we are or how much we have learned we are always re-discovering and re-aligning ourselves with our true passions, which change and evolve all the time, I think. For me those moments of introspection are truly gifts. xx veronika

  9. I think about those things quite a lot actually. I know exactly what you're talking about.

    P.S. I'm hosting an accessories swap on my blog and I'd love for you to join in!

  11. i have my introspective moments, that is for sure, but quite honestly, i'm more of a do-er than a think-er so i err on the side of missing out on much-needed introspection.

    your outfit is really darling. i adore the necklace!! super unique. <3 EverRubyGirl.blogspot.com

  12. I'm kind of the opposite. Which makes me feel shallow actually. Funny how different temperaments are. Cute outfit Morgan.

  13. I'm 29. I have four children. I've been married for ten years. And there are the sure things, and the unsure things.

    Like love.
    That is sure.

    God.
    He is sure.

    But as for the rest in gets jumbled somewhere in the middle and all I can do is fall hard on grace.

    I could write a book on the things I don't know.......

    But somewhere in the midst of it, you get lost in the beauty of the unknown, the introspection, and the sweet sweet things that fill up the moments in between.

    And then we just sit grateful for the rising of the sun, and the drawing of the next breath.

    I think you are beautiful,
