Did you try to erase all existence of your past? Or do you own it as if it were just another chapter of your life? Or something else entirely?

    I’d been thinking about this for a bit today, I used to own it but I see it pretty differently now.

    I kinda realised that I’d basically done all my growing up over the last 4 or so years. That wasn’t my past, I was in someone else’s life and I didn’t know how to play that character. I didn’t grow or change or do anything interesting, I just coasted to some destination I was meant to reach to finish a story I wasn’t meant to be part of.

    Now, I’m living my life instead, making my own decisions, liking the person I’ve become and telling my own story. The only downside is that I started with 20 years of baggage that I’ve gotta slowly get rid of.
