So I've been silent, so far as my guided reverie is concerned, for a spell. I have come to a few simple yet powerful conclusions. I like me. I have gained a stronger grasp upon myself, my motives and catalysts. All very good things for avoiding future error.

I've also become quite adept at recognizing how and why, and which, personalities bring out aspects of my own dimensions best left dormant.

How true this is! Sometimes I feel that many of my relationships - which were special despite being full of crush endorphins - were, in hindsight, mostly to help me sort that out for myself. And it's something I will never tire of, until I meet my mate that is :) It changes too, as we change. For instance, I used to be pretty rigid and rather judgmental, but some of the relationships I was in helped me develop a more easygoing, flexible, forgiving nature. And then at the beginning of this year, I dated a guy (a boy, really) who irritated me and pissed me off, just by being himself and expressing some of his more unrefined personality traits. It was maddening to watch myself get ubertense around him, ready to snap at the slightest thing, and then go back to being my normal go-with-the-flow self when he wasn't around. I'd never experienced anything like it before! It gave me a new appreciation for complementary personalities, and I also was able to pinpoint some specific traits in potential mates that are very hard for me to deal with. Always the lessons. . . .

Congrats on your home cleaning. Organization is comfortable - for me, especially when things get a little messy, so that I know there is a specific order to which everything can be restored. A healthy way to express the neat freak in me I suppose :D
