This weekend I checked out a few library books, including Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty by Tim Sandlin. This review says it all: irritating characters and a flawed plot. Sandlin takes his unlikable hippies, sticks them in a rest home, and we still hate them.
But there was one gem amongst the rest: A quote to the degree of "Most people wouldn't know the truth about themselves if it walked up and bit them." Yes. So true.
Does this mean I'm the queen of self-awareness? Hell no. But I'm always examining who I am and why I do as I do. I'm always reality-checking myself. I want to understand my effect on the world around me. I don't want people to loathe me because I don't get who I am and wind up generally obnoxious as a result.
