Figuring it all out

I sure lack understanding of the various personalities revolving around my life. It seems as though the gap between hasn't been bridged; it's all a mirage. Oh great. So I spent half of my life so far trying to figure one person out and I end up slapping myself in the face because I haven't exactly moved from that spot. Should I try to delve deeper? I guess wading at the top of the pond would be much better.At least I can breathe.
