Acceptance and Closure

Hi.

It's been a while

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

My name is Dev, but people call me a plethora of different nicknames, mostly Art or ACW though. I'm an asexual trans guy and I wear a lot of hoodies and masks. I ride my scooter "ankle-buster 3000" everywhere I can't walk. I have a lot of obscure or weird hyperfixations and probably have AdHd but that's just speculation.

I wrote two stories before this, called "late" and "early". These stories were full of a lot of bad things and bad thoughts,  and while I wrote that in a time of depression, this story is not like that. In fact, my life is actually pretty great. So, why am I writing another Wattpad story nearly 2-3 years after the last 2? For closure, of course.

I've been working on myself lately, and part of working on yourself is letting go. I don't feel like I'll be able to let go of the mistakes I've made completely without closure, so I'm writing this, right before the New Year.

I want to be a better person, and I'm not here yet, but I'm trying. I've been trying to be more mindful to those around me, not shutting people out as much, and trying to be a good person. I know it may not sound like much, but I'll get there one day.

Another thing I've worked on is accepting younger me as myself. I made a ton of mistakes and caused a lot of problems when I was younger, so much so that I hated that part of myself, but I've accepted that my younger self is me. I can live with the fact that I've made mistakes, hell, I still make a ton, but now I know how to avoid certain mistakes. Like I said, it's a work in progress, but I'm getting there.

And to you, whoever may be reading this, thank you. You've been around long enough to see me through my highs and lows and probably help me through quite a few of them. Who ever you are, a friend, family, or even myself, thank you for not giving up on me.
