The coolest thing about this post is remembering who I was at 15. I can remember how hurt I was, how badly I was struggling, how drastically Ive changed, all while also holding room for the people I’ve hurt too. There’s room for both. There’s room for all of it. Growing up is a wild and crazy thing. It’s unpredictable, and messy, and ugly at times. But at the end of it, when you look at who you are now, when you look at how much you’ve grown and how much you’ve achieved there’s something to be proud of. There’s bitterness in it, but there is so much that’s sweet about it too. This post is comforting and beautiful, mostly because I’m grateful to fifteen year old Alyssa. She went through some terrible stuff, and came out of it gentle and kind. Without her, there’d be no me. My son wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be able to love my husband. I am so grateful for her. I’m grateful for me now too. I’ll hold gentleness for myself even on days I feel I don’t deserve it. 15 year old Alyssa felt she didn’t deserve it either. Truth is, she was just 15.

I'm waiting :
i was dumb, i learned from my mistakes, yet it doesn't mean I'm purified by admitting, does it? Doesnt mean you have to loathe yourself because you've made a mistake at a certain age
