Burden of The Past

As we float through life, we gain and carry new parts of ourselves. We let go of some of the old us. Because we learn and we adapt. We thrive to survive.
So it’s okay to be a different version of our old selves. It is okay to close some doors and burn some bridges. Sometimes, without realizing it, we do it for our best interests.
.
Your old self would probably be the worst version of yourself. A bully. Mean girl. Unwise. Wild. Irrational. Selfish. Arrogant. Childish. Immature. Depressed. Confused.
That’s a good thing. It means you’re actually doing something right. It means you are changing for the better. It means, as you grow older, you collect wisdom.
You might not be as pretty as you were 10-15 years ago. You might, now,  have wrinkles, gain weight, grey hair, hypertension, or malignancy. Life might be hitting you hard. But, all journey will eventually end. What you do with the time you have is what really matters.
.
You’re still best friends with your best friends? Cool. But, if you’re not, it’s also cool.
People grow apart. It’s more common than you think. 
You’re married with kids? Cool. But even if you’re not, it does not make you any less awesome. Just like you do not have any right to judge anyone, they do not have any right to judge how much your life is worth.
.
Live for yourself. Live for the people who matter. Live for all the right reasons.
All the trivial stuffs  you compare yourself with other people with, trust me, they ARE trivial.
