Who is who.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the things that bother me about a person. I've taken the time to understand what it is that I don't want to see in a person and the qualities that cloud my vision and turn me in a different direction. However, I don't think I've really taken the time to sit down and explain to myself what I do value in someone; what I really enjoy seeing in someone.
Although I am not entirely to blame for some mishaps in my life, I do hold partial responsibility. I haven't been clear with myself, and I haven't been honest to myself when it comes to the things that are the most important. I always take the person who hurt me the most and relate them to the person I am presently with. A downside to comparing those two people is that I am also comparing them to the person or people who have made me feel the happiest. It is not a competition and I know that everyone is different. That being said, I still sometimes have a hard time accepting and understanding others different outlooks and unconventional actions.

I am not at all embarrassed to admit that I don't always see the best in people. I know that sometimes I over judge and make assumptions, and I don't want to be that person. I want to be someone that accepts everyone for who they are, what they value and whatever little interesting trait they hold that i'd usually be unsure of.
