I'm not who I was a minute ago, an hour, week, month, and definitely not who I was a year ago. I've changed since then, as many things have. My mindset is brand new and polished, yet still due to change in the future. Every day there's a new tuneup, wether it be adopting a new habit, or getting rid of an old one.
My memories remain, though not many make me happy. My road has gone through many curves, and at times I've strayed from my given path- a fail on my part, trust me. I regret so many things. My past self would say " what's in the past can't be changed, and no longer matters, nor should it effect the future."
Truth is, it does effect the future. There's consequences that send ripples. At the time, I suppose I didn't consider the obvious. Maybe some things are better left forgotten, but some things are unforgettable. Especially the mistakes. Lord knows I've made plenty. I've almost lost my closest friend because of things I've done. Ive lost many friends, gained few. That's how life goes. We grow up, and we realize that we don't need more than a few people around us to make us happy. The cliques dissolve, as we no longer care. Though we all mature at a different rate. Once we do, life becomes easier.

I'm still not proud of what I've done. I'm trying to be proud of who I've become. I'm still flawed, in beautiful ways. Nothing is without a flaw, no? I'm trying to better myself and to be loyal and kind. We all should. The world needs more good people.
