I have at this late stage in my life discovered
who I am. I wish I had know me sooner, for I
believe I could have made me a better person.
I also believe that in meeting me sooner, life
could have been far more uncomplicated.

Am I happy with me? Yes...at least for the most part.
However I wish I didn't know all the unpleasant things
I have discovered about me.

Hmmmm, I only hope others don't know as much about
me as I do. My fear is unfounded, for like most humans
I tend to only exhibit my better qualities and keep
hidden, (for the most part) the character flaws...
that mark us human.
