knowing...

I know so much more about myself now than I ever did before. I thought I knew myself, all there was to discover but I was so off. I now see all the things I never gave myself enough credit for. In knowing how far my deficiencies reach I have a better grasp on all that I took for granted before. But I now see the strengths I've gained that I pretended to have before. I've found that I was wrong and "they" were right; you can never fully know yourself until you completely loose yourself. You have the marker of who you were (now in high definition because you're finally seeing it objectively), the unavoidable heightened awareness of who you are now, and the birds eye view of the dynamo you are becoming as the two merge.
