i hope all the horrors of my past, all my wrong decisions both intentional and not, are things i always remember so i can continue helping myself become better instead of using them as reasons to beat myself up.
i hope i keep growing and not the other way around. i hope i make more sound decisions, become a little less hypocritical every day, and learn to take accountability without carrying shame for the rest of my life.
i hope everything i do ultimately helps me become a genuinely good person (not just nice), someone with integrity, a regulated nervous system, and a healthy relationship with their emotions.
i hope i become wiser without becoming cynical, softer without becoming naive, more self-aware without turning every mistake into a life sentence, and carry the lesson forward before life has to teach it to me again.
most of all, i hope i never stop being willing to change.
