Who am I?

If someone had an impression of me, and that impression was one of indecision and of a person searching for purpose, should I be offended?

It is a bit shocking to know that another person looks at me and sees a person who hasn't found what he's been looking for and that she sees this as a negative attribute. It's also stunning to be told that I may be "too detail-oriented" for my own good.

How can I know so clearly who I am and what I want to do with my life, but it appear to someone else so nebulously? I try to live in such a way that lines up with what's going on in my heart and head, but it seems like this may be invisible; Or that it just can't be seen because it's different.

I like that second option. I tell myself that the reason people might see me as indecisive is because what I want to do with my life does not fit within any of the most common definitions.

There is the life I want, and then there is everything else.

But still, I wonder if "they" are right?
