Hello,
Can we say "find yourself" to mean something like 'to find out who you really are, what you want, etc'?
Can you give me other suggestions?
Thank you,
Nawee |

You have it right.
In "The Graduate," Dustin Hoffman plays a young man who just graduated from college but has no direction in his life. He tries to find himself and gets involved with Mrs. Robinson and her daughter.
The couple got a divorce when the man turned 40 and decided he wasn't happy and had to find himself. He found himself a younger woman.
