All my life I had been looking for something, and
everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted
their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even
self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking
everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It
took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with:
that I am nobody but myself.
