Discussion

Heather Oland Nov 14, 2006:
"Losing my way" has a more poetic/philosophical feel to me. I guess it depends on the tone of the whole piece and whether they are talking about being physically lost (which is what I assumed) or losing themselves in a philosophical sense.
Adam Burman (asker) Nov 14, 2006:
I was thinking something like "of losing my way"
What do you think?

Selected

To loose my way / to loose myself

This is what I was thinking while opening the page. I prefer your proposal Adam with "loosing". I would choose the one it sounds more ambigous for you as native English.

Good luck & best regards, mmm

agree Claudia Luque Bedregal : yes, I also like Adam's proposal, but "lose" with only one "o"
