random thought
i feel like people should start to realize that people change. in general people grow. stop thinking of fixing or changing someone because every individual change for the right person. like clearly they are not the right person for you and you’re not the right person for them. right people doesn’t give you the feeling of not being good enough. right people doesn’t give you sleepless nights and leave you thinking why they betrayed you. right people doesn’t invalidate, manipulate, and gaslight you.
you can never please everybody. when you stand up for yourself, there will be people who think you’re overreacting or being a jerk. when you try your best to be kind to everyone you meet, there will be people who think you’re being fake or that you desperately want to be liked. you won’t ever be able to be the best version of yourself if you live for other people, because that ‘best version’ is entirely subjective and therefore impossible to embody. be your personal best, your personal favorite, and you’ll attract people who will see you that way as well.
