Good comments, all in all =)

Oh but do you mean that to 'find oneself' would essentially mean to be obsessed with one major thing, to do a thing to the fullest - in the sense of going to the extreme? (Personally, I can't say because I never quite felt a need to find myself - as far as I can remember, I've had a clear inner vision about myself and my life, so the question has been more about finding ways to combine my inner visions with the contemporary society I find myself living in =) )

And, another question - taking it back to this blog entry; does 'to find oneself' mean that is kind of a reaching a clear stage; like in a computer game reaching level 3 or something =) Or could it be more like a process, a journey without a definite end? For example, the way I understand Mariska's career, she started with finding herself as a rapper, one of the first female rappers in Finland. As she kept on doing that, writing rap became to look more like a medium of writing lyrics. Mariska started to see herself more as a lyrics writer in general, and there were years when she didn't perform herself, but wrote a lot of lyrics for other artist. Until she again felt an inner need to get back to performing herself - and so on. All these shifts and turns, to me they look like necessary steps in the process of 'finding oneself', so to say =) It is just that once you find yourself as any 'not A, not B, but C kind of a person', being honest to that C, you might find your journey taking you to unpredictable places, all of which make you to redefine the way you see C, and the way you see yourself as a 'C kind of person'
