who am i trying to fool? i can be bitter. i can get angry. i can feel hopeless. but i am still the same girl who thought she could step into a mirror and find herself somewhere else. i still wish on stars. i keep drifting off in daydreams. i have faith in the world.<\/p>\n
that is who i am.<\/p>\n
of course, i have bad days. i have bad weeks. and sometimes, but only rarely, i have bad months. but i have never had a bad year. i don’t let it last that long.<\/p>\n
life’s too short to hold on to grudges and to build walls around you and to pretend like nobody else but yourself matters. it might be easier, it’s definitely easier,<\/i> but it doesn’t feel nearly as good as it does to forgive someone and let someone new into your life and give your time and thought and compassion away.<\/p>\n
it’s worth it. i know it doesn’t feel that way, sometimes. i know it seems impossible, sometimes. but it is. this is what i tell myself. this is what i need to remember.<\/p>\n
there’s hope for me, yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
