You can stay delusional like you were. You can act that the world revolves around you when your whole life is inside your small head. You can remain pretentious and be a narcissist for the rest of your life.
In the end, it's gonna be you who will regret your decisions.
Past is the past but it remains your present until you keep holding the regrets, lies, mistakes, grudges and fake identities of it.
Neither are you flawless, nor was she.
Everybody has their fears, and they're not yours or anybody's to use for power. I know you need validation, you need acceptance, and you need yourself.
So long you were just an actress but now, You're the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. You're the storyteller and the story told. You're somebody's something, but You're also your YOU.
