It’s strange and beautiful to realise that you can be simultaneously proud of how far you have come and aware that you have barely scratched the surface of who you could become.
I really used to struggle tolerating being perceived incorrectly by people I care about, but now idrc. and while I am overjoyed when someone gets it right, I'm not completely bent out of shape when someone gets it wrong
Your relationship with yourself cannot be built entirely around improvement. At some point, you have to become someone you are allowed to enjoy being. You get to be proud of who you are. Present tense.
Sometimes in between life and adulting, you experience a burst of gratitude. Grateful for where you are, grateful for the things you’ve overcome, grateful for the hope of a better tomorrow. God handpicks the details of our lives because what a life man.
I stopped intellectualising my dislike for things. Sometimes I just don’t like things, and I don’t need a reason. It may not be right, but it’s okay, everyone will live, crops will die.
