This was not one of the things in life that could be done with outside aid though. The truth had been apparent to Jake, who had told Finn that he would only give insight if sought. He knew that the others cared about him to the point of wanting to help no matter what as well, but to go to them for this would be to get another individual's perspective on life. Such a thing would not be negative by any means, but it was not what he was looking for. What he needed was to better understand himself, and to better understand the type of person he wanted to be moving forward. The shortcomings he saw in himself, and the strengths he was proud of, needed to be fully understood if he wished to have any control over them.
Better, he thought, to stay the path of self discovery. He'd welcome the thoughts and ideas of others once he was fully secure in his own beliefs and necessities. One thing had become abundantly clear to him during this short time since the passing of his friend. He could no longer afford to be willfully ignorant, nor could he shy away from the hard truths of life. He had to accept what was in front of him in its entirety, and only then could he choose how to progress. Would he remain the same person at the other end? Of course. No matter what, he was who he was. Finn Mertins. Whether that meant he would deal with situations the same, or if he would have a similar outlook on life, only time could tell. It would be up to him alone. But at the end of the day, he would still be who he was.
