All these things that try to remind me of my hurt always resurface when I'm feeling a lot better. I now think of all these reminders as pointless coincidences because my new found self-awareness nullifies any sort fixation I had with loving the wrong people, and hating myself. I made peace with all of it. Everyone's actions and words, including mine. I made peace with not knowing what everybody thinks of me. I made peace with the idea that I'm not a good person in everyone's eyes, even though I actively try to be. Even though I'm no longer the person you might long for, that doesn't mean I'm undeserving of love.
