There's a brief moment of clarity the first time you realize that someone who most likely would've made fun of you or bashed you in high school now sees you as a "catch". It took a lot of strength and heartbreak for me to become the person I am now. Sometimes I wish they could just go back and know the things I went through.
Everyone always thought I was weird. Now I know there's people who like me for being my weird nerdy self. I stopped trying to be like everyone else a long time ago because I realized maybe that's why people were mean. When I just tried to be me, I found friends who liked the same things I did.
I hope I can continue to grow beyond the point of needing satisfaction from others. I'm happy they can see me now because it means my efforts have not gone unnoticed. However, when there's a moment when I no longer crave that attention, it is then that I will be alive and freed of the chains of my past.
