I remember the old me; full of life and joy, always the one bringing life to the party.

I remember loving my entire being, completely happy with the way I was.

I was someone's someone, allowing others to rely on me when they had nobody else or didn't know who to go to.

I had so much love to give to my family and friends, I wanted to give them the best.

I remember being content with my academics, knowing damn well I aced most of it.

I was confident and I trusted myself to strive for excellence, to love who I wanted to love- to cherish my loved ones always.

In the mirror opposite me, I was glad I was me. Smiling from ear to ear while jamming to my favourite tunes, unbothered by the negative forces coming after me.

For a while, I thought I'd be okay. I was contented with my life and the people in it.
I believed my flaws made me who I am, that I shouldn't really care about gaining validation from others.

I was fine with the way I was, I was proud of myself.

Was.
