"It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to everybody else, and still unknown to himself."
— Francis Bacon
good quote. very sad, indeed. i can't believe I'm almost 30, and I don't know myself! I've spent all these years trying to figure out what everybody else wants me to do, and now I get to figure out what it is I want.
The interesting thing that I've discovered is that the more you get to really know yourself, and understand and accept those things about yourself that you are discovering, the more you realize how the things that are important to you are rarely the same things you have been told should be important. I don't know, it seems that way for me at least.
