Life has the tendency to knock you down, toss you into a whirlwind and keep you guessing. You often think, "what the hell is going on; what am I doing?" You may be struggling to find your truest self, or maybe you know who you are and you need to figure out how show the rest of the world. Regardless, it is quite often we find ourselves doubting our abilities and how we can contribute them to the world to create change, whether it be to show the world you individuality or to show yourself your own individuality. It is undoubtedly a difficult process, however, people throughout history have struggled with themselves as well and have enlightened the world through their voice and writing so that we can realize that we are something special:
