Den tiden ger jag mig själv här och nu

If you don't have enough time with your private self to sit down and catch up with the voices inside, then how do you know who you really want to be? Not just who your family wants you to be, not who your lover needs you to be, not who your current crowd hopes you will continue to be… but who you want to be. I've constantly had to battle with the issue of what kind of woman I wanted to be. Sometimes I've given the complete opposite impression to some people. Why? Sometimes it was intentional. Sometimes it wasn't.
