i don't know who needs to hear this but in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you’re innocent in the story you created
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.
you don’t realise how young 17 is until you’re not 17 anymore, and when you see someone 17 - you see how young they are, they’re silly, they have school, they are kids. somehow when i was 17 i thought this was it but that was barely anything.
