Journeys are taken by many people across the world. There are many different kinds of journeys but the most prevalent ones are about finding something, whether it be and object or something thought provoking. One thing people and search for is who they are. Journeys of self-discovery are made by people who are unknowing of themselves.
Usual journeys of self-discovery begin with the adventurer realizing that there is something about themselves that they did not know previously. They proceed to ask the many different people that they know in order to solve this dilemma. Unable to quickly solve it the adventurer is left puzzled and with the decision to either leave it as it is or to go on a "Journey of Self-Discovery". (see what I did there?) Now to make a good story the adventurer usually chooses the option to go on that journey. This usually entails traveling far and wide to solve this issue; asking questions on who they are and what is it that they are doing there.
(WARNING: Random obscure video game example that is skip-able!)
In a more recent (not really) video game, "Okamiden" one of the main character's partner, Kuni, is discovered to be and adopted child who's origin is unknown. At the end of the game the child himself discovered the truth that he was adopted and wants to learn the truth from his so-called "parents". As they are both unknowing when it comes to his origin, he is met with the dilemma of "how do I figure this out?" Of course he decides to go on the journey to "Discover himself and his origins".
This example shows what a "Journey of Self-Discovery" really is. It is a journey that one takes in order to discover certain facts about their being that they might not know themselves. So, as yourself, is it your journey time?
