I love how this walks the line between self-awareness and defiance. It’s not about not growing—it’s about growing anyway.

I feel this. I have been there and I feel the torment you are putting yourself through. It is something we all have to learn to live with or learn how to feel differently. Neither being the easy road.

"It was the kind of crush that inspired me to study harder, to care more about how I looked. It was serious enough for me to feel not just love, but also the pain that came with it."

this part hits too close to home, thank you so much for sharing. I'm not alone after all..

We repeat things to see if changes but mostly it doesn't. Life are lessons. We learn the easy way, the hard way, or right way. But life surprises you.
