"I wanted to find myself. This is an interesting phrase...which certainly does not mean what is says but betrays a nagging suspicion that something has been misplaced" (pg. 21).
To find ourselves. It is a phrase we have all heard many times and never really given much thought to. For my last paper I wrote about how, while it may appear that our identities have changed, our true identities never change, it just takes time for us to find it. Baldwin is right when he says that it is not something we have lost or misplaced as is inferred, it something that has always been there and always will be there. It is just a matter or whether or not you discover this true identity sometime in life or not.
