I am so confused.

You

Yr 1st poem intrigues me. I guess it reminds me of how I often felt in college. Who am I, where am I going, what does my life mean (what *could*/*should* it mean), etc.

When I think about then & now, one thing that comes to mind is that I now define myself by my relationships: child of God, husband of Carol, Jen/Sheri's dad, colleague/friend of ____. Like that. In college days there were no relationships that were permanent (well, I still was Arthur and Bessie's son, but at that age I was trying to separate from my parents) or seemlingly permanent or at least lasting longer than a year or two.

College years can be a time of great discovery and self-definition (or finding oneself). Not that it's a bowl of cherries, but there's much to enjoy.
