It's crazy to think that one day everything could change. All the people you knew, the place you grew up in, even the person you once were... it could all change in the blink of an eye. You change because all the people, places, things around you make you believe in something that is over you, or under you even. People tell you things you want to hear and then leave you out to dry like they didn't even care about you in first place. But the things they don't see is how it all affects you, how over time it slowly tears you apart. And then you get to a point where you change and you don't even recognize who you've become, you or anyone else can't see it... until it's too late. Until you are at the point where you become numb to everything and everyone, you don't know what's real or not anymore. So you second guess everything. You become so use to all the pain that you can't find the happiness you once had; so you stop looking. You take what you've become and you adapt... but you shouldn't.

You should take all the comments, all the pain and use it to make yourself stronger. Become someone only you can love, and someone you and only you can count on, because all that should matter is how you view yourself and then the world will follow. The world will see your pain and it will see how you've taken it and turned it into something great. It takes so little to tear down your self confidence but it will take time to build it all back up... and that's okay. It's worth the time to become the best you you can be and when those see how great you are doing, all the pain you once had will be long gone. So go for it all; go to that school no one thought you were good enough for, prove to them that you are capable and deserving of the best. Audition for that role you want the most, go for the guy/girl you never thought you could get. Do it all not because someone told you you can't, do it because you know you can because you deserve it all. Don't waste time waiting for things, strive for the impossible and make it possible in the only way you know how to. Because you are worthy of it all, and no one should tell you otherwise. You did change and maybe it is for the better, because you are becoming the best you you wish to be.
