I’d always liked the idea of how you grow from experiences. The idea that life changes you and molds you into someone new - but what happens when you outgrow everything around you? It’s like when you’re sitting in a room of people that you love, and everyone is smiling and yelling like crazy people, and that used to be you too, but it’s not anymore; and all you can do is sit and watch. You’ve done more growing than anyone else in the room, and you’re finally realizing that they aren’t going to catch up. The world you’re living in just doesn’t fit you anymore. The people around you don’t fit, this life doesn’t fit, and you know it’s time to move on.
I have always, essentially, been waiting. Waiting to become something else, waiting to be that person I always thought I was on the verge of becoming, waiting for that life I thought I would have. In my head, I was always one step away.
