A Realization

While no one really has a total idea of who they are (in my opinion, anyway), it's impossible to make any sort of progress in finding out without human interaction. You see how they act, who you want to be like and who you want to be around. You see how people react to your behaviors and your feeling towards those reactions. You see the people who enjoy you and vice-versa.

It's impossible to find out who you are without learning about others, don't underestimate the people in your life, they made you who you are today. But at the same time, make sure you know who's thoughts go through your head when you're thinking about who you are. It's a fine balance, and I don't think anyone's quite mastered it yet, though we all put on brave faces.

Just remember, you sometimes affect others, and others always effect you.
