I’m at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.
i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
A lot of mischaracterization is really just accountability avoidance. Some people need you to be “the problem” so they can justify their behavior. And sometimes people intentionally mischaracterize you bc it’s easier for them to talk about to other people.
