musings (adolescence)
We do stupid things. We do things we don't fully grasp, mild or serious. I know I can say that I am hardly the same being as that younger kid.
I used to (still do) love PLUR and adjacent concepts. One particularly was always the notion that we are more about where we are going than where we've been.
musings (adolescence)
When I feel into postfurry, i saw that taken so wonderfully to mind with identity and self in ways I instantly latched onto. Reject what we can of the things we don't want and write our own stories. Acknowledge them as meaningfully close to our heart and spirit and celebrate it in affirming ways.
Perhaps because anything closer to actualization of our dreams is something we acknowledge as being worth it to strive for.
musings (adolescence)
At different points in my adolescence now I realize that I had known exactly the things I know now to some degree, or was on the cusp of accepting them. Instead, I ran, hated myself, and repressed things. Transition marked the moment I decided that I was done with running, and done with a pattern of self-hate or fear of all that I was and am.
It was the full acceptance that where I am going matters. Dismiss the past, shall we? And let's do things right from now on.
