When the dust settled, all i knew was that i was going to have to be the best version of myself that i can be, i knew that if you got out of bed every morning and set your watch by what other people expect t or demand it'd drive you crazy, so what was true then is true now don't waste your time leaving someone else's life, don't try to emulate the people who came before you to the excludsion of everything else contorting into a shape that doesn't fit, it takes too much mental effort ,effort that should be dedicated to creating and building .
