It takes one to know one.

I find that more and more each day I realize the limitations of myself and my personality. I discover more often how important it is to know my own needs and the ways in which I function best in my surroundings. Most of the time I realize these things a little too late, after damage has been done to an innocent person, and then I wish I had taken the time to know and acknowledge myself more.
With that being said, I feel I also have a deeper understanding of people and why I've been treated like I've been treated by others throughout my life. By admitting my own faults and shortcomings, by trying to maintain meaningful relationships in the midst of all my shit, it becomes easier to accept those faults in others and be gracious to them when they're 'human.' It doesn't seem so horrible if I'm mistreated when I understand why it happens.
Ah, yes. I'm feeling enlightened right now; I pray I've internalized this life lesson.
